...Battle. German Intelligence had also studied PU-36. Reconnaissance had looked over the Smolensk area. In posthumous tribute to Marshal Tukhachevsky, the German commander in this area, Field Marshal Fedor von Bock, decided to abandon the fundamental pattern of Blitzkrieg -cutting as if with a knife through one strategic spot (as at Sedan) and then encircling.
