I don't understand why my article is a candidate for speedy deletion. If there is an error in my German translation please correct it, but I am planning on putting much more information into this page in the future and possibly a battle box. The main source for this article is the book "The German Way of War" by Dr. Robert M. Citino, a widely respected German military historian who is fluent in both German and English and currently teaches at Eastern Michigan University. I was actually hoping he could help me put a little more detail and citations into this article and I will be contacting him next week. I have removed the speedy deletion marker as I felt it was unnecessary and was created while I was writing the main body of the article. -- bbcrackmonkey

Probably because you only used one source. Military history is particulary partisan and unregulated so why should we listen to the proponent of a German military "historian" who sees nothing better to study than his own country's military history?
