RE: Nazi tanks, Blitzkrieg and the Landkreuzer P. 1000 Ratte
No matter what they have planned or how big tanks they have built, I think Chengis khan was the most fierce and successful emperor of all time.
He ruled over half of the world in the 13th century and that too without any technology.
Today we have got weapons that could kill that many people with a small movement of a finger that he killed for years, but what if he had got this technology at that time, he would have conquered even mars.
That's not exactly true.
What technology did they have compared to today's world.....a bow and an arrow?
What else?
Among many other things, they had an advanced way of preserving high calorie provisions for their troops. This was one major key factor to their success - advanced logistics ...
And what was that advanced way?

Instant soup.
It may not sound like a big deal, but when you try conquering the world, supply and provisions can be more of a factor than firepower :)
Sure it is.
Stirrups
Wow, loved that article too, I ought to check out your articles more.
Haha, can't argue with you there. The Mongols remain the most brutal empire.
Yes, apart from their brutality and heinous crimes, there is a lot we can learn from them.
