Quick question, I was always taught in school that blitzkrieg was enabled by innovations in tank technology. If it’s not that, what enabled Hitler to (briefly) overwhelm much of Europe?
Nazis drew some weird lines. Coke and heroin? Degenerate Jewish filth. Meth? Coat that shit in sugar and caffeine and sell it on shelves until you make it “prescription only” (but made it easier to get than California medical weed before full legalization). I get the reasoning behind it materially: meth is cheap, synthetic, long lasting, addictive and great for a psycho economy who constantly increased work hours and quotas so they could increase production and develop domestic productive forces to satiate the ever increasing hunger for capital and thirst for blood of the bourgeoisie while at the same time combating revolutionary elements so those proles don’t develop ideologically as well so you can use them to murder millions enslave billions. All those pharmaceutical labs and pill presses you either just seized through genocide or co-opted by either threatening, bribing, union busting, or some combination in the contemporary dominant global pharmaceutical cartel of mid 19-20th century Germany come in handy when those gears need faster grinding and sanctions don’t prevent access to other stimulants. I just have no fuckin clue how you advertise to make meth better looking than coke tho.
First off, while the Pz2 and Pz38 were horrifically obsolete by the start of the war, they were still leagues better then what weaker nations such as Poland, Denmark, Norway, the Dutch, Yugoslavia, etc were fielding. Same goes for aircraft and infantry weapons.
Second, blitzkrieg was not used at the start of the war, as it was only really developed for the attack on France and the Soviet Union. The battles of Poland and other parts of Europe was essentially just overwhelming strength, as no one was prepared or ready for a war. Thats why Germany stomped most of Europe, but began faltering heavily once it took on actual military powers such as the UK/Commonwealth, and the USSR.
The Fall of France was also mainly just absolute dumb luck on the part of the Germans, and a horrific blunder of military tactics and logistics on the part of the British and French. After that initial blunder the French army practically collapsed due to fatigue still felt by the country after WW1.
Blitzkrieg only worked because the Germans had the element of surprise. They were able to break France because the Allies didn’t expect them to go through the Ardennes. They were able to push so deep into the USSR because the Soviets didn’t expect them to attack for another two years at least.
Had the Allies had the foresight or at least the sense to not leave a big gap in their frontline, the German war machine would’ve ground to a halt before it even got moving.

I wanna say the blitzkrieg worked because everyone was high on meth.
