Aelianus Tacticus Aelianus Tacticus ( ) ( fl . second century ) , also known as Aelian , was a Greek military writer who lived in Rome . Aelian ' s military treatise in fifty - three chapters on the tactics of the Greeks , titled " On tactical arrays of the Greeks " ( ) , is dedicated to the Emperor Hadrian , though this is probably a mistake for Trajan , and the date 106 has been assigned to it . It is a handbook of Greek , i . e . Macedonian , drill and tactics as practiced by the Hellenistic successors of Alexander the Great . The author claims to have consulted all the best authorities , the most important of which was a lost treatise on the subject by Polybius . Perhaps the chief value of Aelian ' s work lies in his critical account of preceding works on the art of war , and in the fullness of his technical details in matters of drill . He also gives a brief account of the constitution of a Roman army at that time . The work arose , he says , from a conversation he had with the emperor Nerva at Frontinus ' s house at Formiae . He promises a work on Naval Tactics also ; but this , if it was written , is lost . Critics of the 18th century — Guichard Folard and the Prince de Ligne — were unanimous in thinking Aelian greatly inferior to Arrian , but Aelian exercised a great influence both on his immediate successors , the Byzantine s , and later on the Arabs , ( who translated the text for their own use ) . Emperor Leo VI the Wise incorporated much of Aelian ' s text in his own work on the military art ( Τέχνη Τακτική ) . The Arabic version of Aelian was made about 1350 . It was first translated into Latin by Theodore Gaza , published at Rome in 1487 . The Greek editio princeps was edited by Francesco Robortello and published at Venice in 1552 . In spite of its academic nature , the copious details to be found in the treatise rendered it of the highest value to the army organizers of the 16th century , who were engaged in fashioning a regular military system out of the semi - feudal systems of previous generations . The Macedonian phalanx of Aelian had many points of resemblance to the solid masses of pikemen and the squadrons of cavalry of the Spanish and Dutch systems , and the translations made in the 16th century formed the groundwork of numerous books on drill and tactics . The first significant reference to the influence of Aelian in the 16th century is a letter to Maurice of Nassau , Prince of Orange from his cousin William Louis , Count of Nassau - Dillenburg on December 8 , 1594 . The letter is influential in supporting the thesis of the early - modern Military Revolution . In the letter William Louis discusses the use of ranks by soldiers of Imperial Rome as discussed in Aelian ' s Tactica . Aelian was discussing the use of the counter march in the context of the Roman sword gladius and spear pilum . William Louis in a ' crucial leap ' realized that the same technique could work for men with firearms .
Panzerkeil The Panzerkeil ( Armoured Wedge ) was an offensive armoured tactic developed by German forces on the Eastern Front during World War II . The " panzerkeil " was developed in response to the Soviet employment of the " pakfront " defence . The " panzerkeil " was an offensive formation used by armoured vehicles , most commonly tank s . The tanks would form into a wedge - shaped formation , with the most heavily armed and armoured vehicles forming the tip . At the battle of Kursk , Tiger I s ( Panzer VIE ) would form the tip , Panthers ( Panzer V ) the base ( where available ) , with the Panzer IV s and Panzer III s forming the wings . The advantage of the " panzerkeil " was that the anti - tank gunners of the opposing " pakfront " would be forced to constantly adjust their ranges due to the depth of the formation . Also , the heavily armoured Tigers and Panthers would bear the brunt of the anti - tank fire , leaving the more vulnerable tanks safe from enemy fire . The " panzerkeil " achieved mixed results . During Operation Citadel , the panzerkeil enabled the spearheads of " Generaloberst " Hermann Hoth ' s 4th Panzer Army to break through the elaborate Soviet defences . Meanwhile , in " Generalfeldmarschall " Walter Model ' s 9th Army sector , tank units using the " panzerkeil " tactic failed to achieve a breakthrough , and suffered heavy losses due to anti - tank fire .
Zanbatō , an especially large , curved type of fictional sword used by characters in Japanese anime and manga . Books written about " nihonto " ( traditional Japanese swords ) make no references to zanbatō as being actual swords used in feudal Japan . The name zanbatō literally translates to " horse - slaying sword " or " horse - chopping saber " . Replicas of zanbatō swords can be found for sale in tourist shops and stands in Japan . Extremely long Zanbatō type swords existed in Japan as in the nodachi or ōdachi ; these swords , along with the phonetically similar " zhan ma dao " Chinese sword , may have been the inspiration for the creation of Zanbatō as an anime and manga weapon . Chinese " zhǎn mǎ dāo " . A Chinese anti - cavalry weapon of the Song Dynasty written also as 斬馬刀 ( " zhǎn mǎ dāo " ) is of similar proportion to a Zanbatō , although it differs in form . Surviving examples include a sword that might resemble a nagamaki in construction ; it had a wrapped handle 37 cm ( 15 in ) long , like the Zanbatō . However , the blade differed , having only a slight curve in the last half , whereas the Zanbatō ' s curve stretches the length of the blade and handle , similar to a katana . Zanbatō in modern fiction . The fictional interpretation of the weapon consists of a large , wide blade attached to an extended , pole - like hilt . The sword , and variations of it , are used by many characters in anime and video games . These interpretations often simply depict the weapon as an oversized sword or being imbued with magical properties . However , the weapon which most closely resembles such instances is the eku , or " wooden oar " . A few notable series featuring Zanbatō include

Imbert was an influential councillor and chamberlain to four kings of France : Louis XI , Charles VIII , Louis XI and Francis I . His long tenure in this office was rare at the time , but he was skilful and cunning , and was present at all of the negotiations in his time - he was particularly responsible for arranging the marriage of Anne of Brittany to the king , sealing the joining of the Duchy of Brittany to the French kingdom . He was entrusted with preparations for war with Italy and the education of the children of Louis XII and François I . The Poles . During the 17th and 18th centuries , other leading families - such as the Bourdeilles and the Beauvilliers - lived in the castle . The French Revolution marked the beginning of its decline . Around 1845 , count Jouffroy de Gonsan demolished the west wing of the Renaissance " logis " as well as the castle chapel . In 1849 , Xavier Branicki , a rich Polish count and friend of emperor Napoleon III , arrived to give new life to Montrésor ; Branicki had the castle completely restored .

Branicki ' s descendants still own the castle . The Château de Montrésor is listed as a " monument historique " by the French Ministry of Culture .
