I'm sure you know that Blitzkrieg can be maintained for as long as the momentum and impetus exists. I'm not sure why you are so wrapped up in this 6-8 week length which is fine for countries the size of Poland and France but impossible for the largest country on earth. |
Because you obviously ignore what I say which does not match up with your limited knowledge. Blitzkrieg was not used in Poland or France. Blitzkrieg was only really used against the USSR and the essence of Blitzkrieg is a quick campaign, no total war footing, no mobilization of the entire country for a war, but a planned operation by the General Staff which would only take 8-12 weeks. Planning for only 8-12 weeks and stock piles for that long, supplies, etc. What you're advocating is, once again, NOT Blitzkrieg.
