    It’s easy to filter out the heeraboos by probing which B-word they use to describe German land doctrine.

    Bewegungskrieg (I may have spelled that incorrectly) was the actual doctrine, and yes, it was an innovative precursor to today’s land-air battle. Blitzkrieg was just a slang.

      Today I learned I’m a heeraboo. Is blitzkrieg really just slang for bewegungskrieg?

        I think the little mustache weirdo was among those who actually used it. In other words, probably without shocking anyone, Hitler was a Heeraboo
