Sounds positively hilarious, in some twisted sort of way. I wonder what his definition of blitzkrieg is?

He also explains how Rommel's North African campaigns, D-Day, the Normandy campaign, Hitler's final frantic breakthrough attempt into Antwerp in the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944, and other actions do not support the blitzkrieg myth. Actually, Mosier says, strategic airfare in Europe was almost a failure.
And what the heck is this passage about? First talks about ground offensives and from this draws the conclusion that strategic "airfare" failed...
