In 1936 he created the Blitzkrieg for the German Army under the orders of the Wehrmacht where German troops and tank’s would storm all over Europe during World War 2 . However his armies committed war crimes against civilians between 1939 and 1945 because his infantry troops and tank troops we’re complicit with Adolf Hitler’s Aryan race and Heinrich Himmler’s SS such as the SS’s own Nazi Army known as the Waffen-SS this had led to the Myth of the Clean Wehrmacht after World War 2 in Europe ended in 1945 when Guderian promoted the myth that he and his troops were not involved in the Holocaust with SS Chief (Reichsfuhrer)Heinrich Himmler or the infamous SS-Colonel/Brigadier-General (Oberfuhrer) Oskar Dirlewanger which is a Holocaust denial .
