Quote, And the pen of Crowley, like that of Saladin, Swineburn, and Shelley, is but another douche of cold water to wake the frowsy sleepers of the night and wash from their gluey eyes the nightmare of Christian supremacy.

Courtney FrickeHOST
How does leadership get us there, in your opinion?
Mike FernandezGUEST
Yeah, and look, that's it, right? Before I answer your question, I'll say when I went to that council meeting two and a half years ago, the quote that I used was from Dwight Eisenhower, right? It's in the middle of World War II and we're getting obliterated by the Blitzkrieg and he brought all his generals in and he said, the current um, the current circumstance is to be looked at as an opportunity, not a, I forget exactly what he said.
Mike FernandezGUEST
Right.
Mike FernandezGUEST
But instead of like, Hey, we're looking at this, like we're, we're getting screwed.
WalkerHOST
The
MaceHOST
Blitzkrieg took the world by storm.
MaceHOST
Nobody except Russia's weather stopped them.
MaceHOST
Like, if it wasn't them literally freezing to a halt in Stalingrad, if they took Russia, we'd be all speaking German right now.
DaveHOST
And also this was the time where, as I've said before, everybody was so anonymous.

JC ColeGUEST
Anyway, so I looked at that and I go, we have been talking about the attack on animal protein.
JC ColeGUEST
And if you looked at what the Nazis did during World War II, they had the Blitzkrieg, where they just focused everything they had, the Navy, the Army, the Air Force, attack, all focused at the same time.
JC ColeGUEST
And...
JC ColeGUEST
And it looks like, to me, this is a part of the blitzkrieg on animal protein.
Matthias StrohnHOST
And 1940 is, is of course, you might say in many ways the, the heyday of the, the, the tank idea.
Matthias StrohnHOST
This idea of what in inverted commas we call Blitzkrieg and the use of, and the use of tanks here.
Matthias StrohnHOST
We talked about this in, in our episode on, on France 1940.
Matthias StrohnHOST
German tanks aren't particularly great, um, in, in 1940.

ThomasGUEST
I believe what its origins lie in
ThomasGUEST
Blitzkrieg or what some people commonly understand as Blitzkrieg and how that
ThomasGUEST
doctrine came to develop.
ThomasGUEST
The best explanation of what the controversy is, there's Basil Liddell Hart, who I think is something of a problematic historian.
ThomasGUEST
specifically um you know whereby uh whereby people like uh heinz gadarian and uh people like Werner von Fritsch were, you know, understood that massed armor was going to supplant conventional infantry, you know, as the
ThomasGUEST
schwerpunkt of ground assault operations?
ThomasGUEST
Or was Blitzkrieg this kind of, you know, technique that
ThomasGUEST
developed only to the unique exigencies of the modern battlefield conditions.
