Heinz Guderian

"Holy cow! That's Heinz Guderian! Now he's trying to let his forces seek revenge on their loss in the Battle of Moscow! Well, I'll try to make sure that only history can be repeated by itself."

--Su Ji-Hoon, Operation: Invasion Der Zukünftigen Akademie

Heinz Wilhelm Guderian (German: [ɡuˈdeʀi̯an]) is a German general during the Nazi era. An advocate of the "blitzkrieg" (lightning war) doctrine, he successfully led Panzer (armored) units during the Invasion of Poland, the Battle of France, and Operation Barbarossa, the invasion of the Soviet Union.

Guderian had developed motorized tactics in the pre-war army, while keeping himself well-educated about armored formations in other armies. In particular, he implemented the use of radio communication between tank crews and devised shock tactics that proved highly effective. In May 1940, he commanded the Panzer divisions that overwhelmed the French defences at Sedan, France, leading to the surrender of France a month later. After the German defeat at the Battle of Moscow in December 1941 he was transferred to reserve.

After the defeat at Stalingrad in early 1943, Hitler appointed him to a new position, rebuilding the Panzer forces, but he bickered with many other generals, who managed to get his duties re-allocated. He was then appointed Chief of the General Staff of the Army in July 1944, but this was largely a symbolic role since Hitler had effectively become his own Chief of Staff. Guderian was dismissed in March 1945. From 1945-48, Guderian was held in US custody, but released without charge. He later served as an advisor overseeing the establishment of the military in West Germany. Guderian died in 1954.​​​​​​

In When the Cold Breeze Blows Away, he becomes a special tactical leader of the Nazi Union or as the "king of the blitzkrieg" during the Beacon War, because he was promoted into a special leader of the Nazi Union, and became the "king of the blitzkrieg by Fegelein and Richard Loud III.

He always uses blitzkrieg tactics to make the Wehrmacht and its allies be able to attack faster in the Beacon War when he was the "king of the blitzkrieg."
