"OUR ARMY TRAINS FOR NEW WARFARE"

"Military Experts Say Germans Have Made First Change in Basic Methods Since Crecy"

4 May 1941

By Charles Hurd

"WASHINGTON, May 3  - - Behind the drilling and marching of the new American Army and the record production of war material, military experts in this country are shaping a force based on the conviction that the German staff has invented the third basic change in military science to occur since masses of men waded into each other armed with clubs, swords and spears."

THOSE CHANGES INSTITUTING WHAT IS GENERALLY REFERRED TO AS THIRD GENERATION WARFARE, THE ELEMENTS OF WHICH TO INCLUDE:

* Massed formations of armor [tanks].

* Massed formations  of close-air-support ground-attack warplanes. [i.e. Stuka]

* Massed formations of armor and ground-attack warplanes acting in concert.
