Из статьи INFANTRY AND TANKS IN THE SPANISH
CIVIL WAR:
"Neither German nor Italian tanks serving in Spain have come up to expectations. In Germany, high hopes had been built on the light 6-ton tank, produced at the beginning of 1935 ; their mobility was greatly admired; and according to report 1500 of them had been incorporated in the newly formed armoured divisions (Panzerdivisionen). At that time the German Higher Command were believed to be weighing the advantages of the attaque brusquee-the sudden onslaught, launched without warning. The idea underlying this doctrine was not to attempt to crash through a fortified zone, but to use the mobility of tanks to turn the flanks ; high speed, therefore, was the essence of the plan. Speed, however, implies a diminution in armoured protection. But, lately, these ideas have been modified; it has been realized that the race for the flanks may well be countered by the construction of fresh lines of defence which may have to be stormed in their turn. Hence, there has been a reaction away from high speeds towards lower speed combined with thicker armoured protection."
