Adolf Hitler said to his generals of the invasion of Russia:

We have only to kick in the door and the whole rotten structure will come crashing down.

When I first heard that I thought what a boastful little dick. But now that I’ve looked closely at what happened during the Blitzkrieg invasion of France, maybe he wasn’t. So let’s join Hitler’s top panzer general, one of the geniuses behind the cataclysmic Fall of France, Heinz Guderian, as he’s circling in behind Moscow to bring about the fall of the Soviet Union and victory in World War II for Germany. Pushing his men forward like only a German panzer general of World War II could do.
