Blitzkrieg was in fact perfected by the western Allies in WWI. The first true use of blitzkrieg was the Battle of Cambrai, by the British, in 1917. It was a "blitz", in every sense of the word.

Historical fact my friend.
I dont dispute history and YES Cambrai is generally known as the MASS employmemt of tanks but were not talking about a Blitz! Were talking about 4-6 miles and most broke down - LOL hardly what is considered Blitzkreig!

Show me (something other than you) where it is considered to be perfected at Cambrai?

It has NEVER been perfected until this day!! The Germans were crippled by lack of logistics in almost major engagement.

If anyone could be said to have perfected Blitkreig - It was Patton in 1944 but he too had supply problems in the end as well.
