2, nd). The idea was to shock the enemy (World War 2, nd). During World War 1, military forces were mainly confined to fighting from trenches with artillery that was  not moveable (World War 2, nd). Maneuverability of forces was severely limited but during the war two new inventions, combat aircraft and the armored tank were put into service (World  War 2, nd). Both were nearly impervious to machine guns and the current artillery (World War 2, nd). After this war, military leaders pursued the development of both of these  new inventions (World War 2, nd). Both gave military forces the maneuverability they lacked in the World War I (World War 2, nd). It was Colonel John Fuller from Britain  who first discussed the strategy of blitzkrieg (Baxter, nd). Fuller was disappointed that tanks and aircraft were not more useful in the first World War and developed a combat plan  that would include long-range attacks from tanks with air support as well as with ground troops (Baxter, nd). While British officials were not impressed with Fullers ideas, the Germans were  (Baxter, nd). Fiscal limitations in Germany demanded they develop tactics that would be efficient; this included combat aircraft and tanks (World War 2, nd). At the same time, Russia and  other countries were also designing and building lighter tanks that were also faster (World War 2, nd). Britain worked on both lighter and faster tanks for quicker mobility and they  also developed armored infantry tanks (World War 2, nd). Germany placed significant emphasis on developing military forces that would be mobile and well-armed (World War 2, nd). While other nations  wanted to avoid another world war, by 1933 Hitler was in power in Germany and it was his intention to go back into another war as quickly as possible (World
