先看看两个当事人有没有表达过对自己“专利”的声明:
1.希特勒:“劳资没说过”
Ich habe noch nie das Wort Blitzkrieg verwendet, weil es ein ganz blödsinniges Wort ist!Wenn es sich überhaupt auf einen Feldzug anwenden läßt, dann aber auf diesen !
1941年11月8日,希特勒
我从未用过闪电战一词,因为这词非常蠢,如果是在战役法上的那么用还可以接受,因为只能用在这里。
(意思就是劳资没说过)
出自Max Domarus, Hitler. Reden und Proklamationen 1932–1945,第1776页
2.古德里安:“这是哪家的娃?”
无论是在曼施坦因、古德里安等“知名人物”的回忆录,还是在哈尔德的日志中,都看不到把闪电战作为一个正式的军事术语使用,德军装甲兵大将霍特那篇对巴巴罗萨的分析文(现在被称为霍特回忆录),也没有把闪电战作为正式概念,更多只是用来进行形容,描述。
好,两大当事人皆表示,我们不认识这娃。
英军著名战史学者Hew Strachan点评“遗孤”闪电战:
战争爆发时,德军的重整计划已经完成。希特勒意识到他试图入侵波兰的举动会引发与英国和法国的战争。然而,他的部队却因过于出色的战术而取得了巨大的成功,闪电战可能在纯粹的军事运动上有一些意义,但作为一个整体的战略和“经济”概念,它是不存在的。
最后关于这个“祸害群众多年”的始作俑者,可以说是整出了一个捏造问题,也就是德国军史部门的起的头,二战官史主编弗里泽尔和他的一干人:
On the strategic level the theory has been debated for years that Hitler promoted a “German Blitzkrieg strategy” to achieve world domination, and that he intended to keep conflicts localized to avoid a lengthy multiple-front war, while isolating potential opponents through foreign policy maneuvers and then defeating them one by one. The individual conquests were to be separated by pauses to exploit the conquered territories economically and to avoid overtaxing German economic capacities. Parallel to the foreign and economic policy measures, the Nazi Party planned to mobilize the German population internally for the support of the war.
The objective was to use a focused, broad-based armament (Breitenrüstung) approach to develop a strategic first strike capability. The Blitzkrieg concept
allegedly was developed by the Wehrmacht as a practical method of execution.
Following a surprise start of the war, rapid envelopment operations with Luftwaffe support were intended to force a quick decision. At first glance this fascinating and striking thesis that Hitler developed a program for winning world supremacy, or that he had tried to execute such a step-by-step plan, ties together various pieces of the existing puzzle into one neat picture—but those pieces fit only superficially.3
There is no doubt that Germany pursued not a “deep” but rather a “broad”,armament policy. Nor is there any doubt that Hitler intended to conquer Lebensraum in the east. There also is proof that Hitler harbored ideas of world rule going beyond that. And last but not least, the German General Staff since Schlieffen’s time tried to counter both operationally and strategically the superior potentials of a coalition of opponents in a two- or multiple-front war through the conduct of rapid operations to achieve a final decision. But all these factors stand separately and were not systematically linked in an integrated Blitzkrieg strategy. Michael Salewski correctly identified the step-by-step model as monocausal.

“但是,所有的这一切都是零散的,没有系统整合为一个叫闪电战的综合性战略中”
出自德军格罗斯上校THE MYTH AND REALITY OF GERMAN WARFARE Operational Thinking from Moltke the Elder to Heusinger,第210页
最后,虽然德军在以时间、空间、部队为要素的战役法上有自己的一套,虽然德军在装甲兵建设、空军建设、军兵种配合上在两次大战期间做了不少工作,但是!!!
闪电战这一概念并未被当时的德军将领作为正式概念使用。闪电战这个词,并非正式的国防军军事术语,早期出现在宣传口,后来被历史学家自行赋予各种含义,(说白了就是一千个人眼中有一千种闪电战)但是无论如何,至少这个概念在当时的德军当中并未作为战略、战役法或战术上的专业概念,因此讨论闪电战一词的含义和“发明者”是不会有任何意义的。
倒过来想,发明专利是要有好处的,不一定给钱,给活命机会可以了吧?
所以你说,谁发明了?打仗谁都有责任!
