  • Heinz Wilhelm Guderian (17. kesäkuuta 1888–14. toukokuuta 1954) oli Hitlerin tunnettu "panssarikenraali" ja eräs salamasodan luojista.
  • Guderian was born in Kulm, West Prussia (now Chełmno, Poland). From 1901 to 1907 Guderian attended various military schools. He entered the Army in 1907 as an ensign-cadet in the (Hanoverian) Jäger-Bataillon No. 10, commanded at that point by his father, Friedrich Guderian. After attending the war academy in Metz he was made a Leutnant (full Lieutenant) in 1908. In 1911 Guderian joined the 3rd Telegraphen-Battalion of the Prussian Army Signal Corps. On 1 October 1913 he married Margarete Georgen with whom he had two sons, Heinz-Günter (2 August 1914 – 2004) and Kurt (17 September 1918 – 1984). Both sons became highly decorated Wehrmacht officers during World War II; Heinz-Günter became a Panzer general in the Bundeswehr after the war.
  • An excellent strategist, Guderian won almost every battle during his stormy life and was respectable among both his friends and foes. What is more, he was a well-known Chick Magnet and the most humorous officer in the Third Reich. He was nicknamed "Der Schnelle Heinz", German for "Fast Heinz".
  • Guderian was born in Kulm, West Prussia, (now Chełmno, Poland). He entered the Army in 1907. Although the British Army was the first to conceive and attempt armoured warfare and the concept of "Blitzkrieg" (lightning warfare), they did not fully develop it. Soviet marshal Mikhail Tukhachevsky pursued the idea, but his doctrine was repudiated as contrary to Communist principles, and Tukhachevsky was executed in 1937. Guderian was the first who fully developed and advocated the strategy of blitzkrieg and put it into its final shape.
  • Heinz Wilhelm Guderian (17 June 1888 – 14 May 1954) was a military theorist and innovative General of the German Army. He served during both World War I and World War II. Germany's panzer forces were raised and fought according to his writings. He never became a field marshal, but he is recognized as one of the most prominent generals of the Second World War, playing critical roles in the invasion of Poland in 1939, and in the invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941. However, his career stalled in September 1941, after his plans for invading Moscow were interfered with by Adolf Hitler himself. At his own request, Guderian was relieved of his command and sent to the reserve pool.
  • Vooral in Frankrijk en aan het Oostfront wist hij grote successen te boeken. Hij was een van de slachtoffers van de zuiveringen die Hitler onder de generaals doorvoerde na de mislukking van Operatie Barbarossa. Guderian kreeg echter vrijwel meteen een andere hoge verantwoordelijke functie als inspecteur-generaal van de pantsereenheden. In 1944 werd hij zelfs Chef Generale Staf. Na een conflict met Hitler over de situatie aan het oostfront werd hij in maart 1945 ontslagen. Op 10 mei 1945 werd hij door de Amerikanen gevangengenomen. In 1948 werd hij vrijgelaten en hij sleet zijn leven verder als schrijver van een autobiografie.
