The discussion treats German mechanization as selective adoption of useful ideas, including British experiments. Fast armored formations did not mean that the whole army moved at the same speed. Horse-drawn transport still had to support forces that could advance much more quickly. Radio widened the possibilities for coordination, but could not make slower supply columns match armored movement. The example connects tactical mobility with the capacity to sustain it beyond an initial breakthrough.

Mechanized spearheads and horse-drawn supply
Fast armored movement could outrun an army whose supporting transport still depended heavily on horses.
