Even Defence Minister has been tank convert since i Bourbon Wood, 191s. — “Maginot tactitions" ruthlessly banished.

By KIM BEATTIE

Last slimmer was a period of up- heaval in every army whim knew, ‘or suspected, that ft mrght some lday face Hitler's Wehrmacht. The imperative need after the Fall of France was obvious. That was a new type of army, one which must gain hitting strength from arm-

atlul ourccl fighting vehicles, speed from '

wheels and gasoline, sustained power from close-knit cohesion of fast-travelkng combat corps striking as one. There was a major reorganization in the Amerian Army. whim possessed only a single rcxpcrilnental tank brigade in June, ‘i940. ‘There was another, which lreached revolutionary proportions, i in the Britsh Army under the new Chief of the Imperial General Staff. General Sir John Dill, ‘who ' had even combined tanks and air- planes against Arabs. “TANK RADICALS" RISE As a result the British Army was Iswept. clean of tncticians with me "maginot mind", and mechaniza- , tlon experts now fill every key post. Every higher command at home, in the Middle East and Far East, ls held by officers known for their progressive thinking. Many of them were _cven once known as "tank radicals". Dill, Brooke, Wavcll, Wilson. Hanlrlg. Alexander. and a. host of newcomers might all be in- cluded in that category. The Com- mandcrs of the Royal Armoured Corps. Major-Gen Glffard le Q Martel, is the man who built the first one-man tank in his garage. Sir Alan Brooke, Commander the Home Forces. in which We l Canadian Corps ‘s serving, was des- ‘cribcd as “The only mnn who seemed to know how to handle tank units,“ during the French blitz- krieg. It was only through his lil- terest. and that of progressives .ike llfm, that such unorthodox Pon- trapticns as "'II s- Travelling Bath- itub" which brcame the Bren-gun carrcr. were fostered and adopted Of all the swiftly rebuilding arm‘es, the Canadians were b‘es=ed iwi‘h several assets which nave yprovsd invaluable. In proportion i0 ‘, its size, the Canadian Army already ‘had a tentative tank formation ,whlch was probably larger than ‘that 01' any other army. We knew we could make armoured troons easier than most nations. for al- most all our recru'ts could already ,drlve cars. do running motor re- ipnlrs, and were naturally mechan- ‘lcallw inclined. We also knew that. Canadian troops would be at their best in fl e type of wlde-orxn fast- lnovlng warfare which they seem- ed destined to fight. l

Army was already safely in the hands cf three mcn who were nothing if not tank-minded. '1|.ere was tremendous advantage to Canadian Army leadersh'p in the first place, in the man who stands behind the two senior genera‘: Lleut.-General A. G. L. McNaugh- ton. the Corps Commander, and Major-General H.D.G. Crerar, the Chief of Staff. in their effort to build an army which was offensive in both spirit and arms.

Hon. J. L. Ralston became Min- ister of National Defence while the German blitzkrieg into France last year was still in progress. It was surely fitting to find the War Min- lstry in Canada. in this critical hour, in ire hands of an ex-bat- t-afon commander who saw tanks breaking the trench-lock in the last war. It fs safe to say that the pres- ent Minister of National Defence- bccame unshakablv tankmfncled on the day he led his Nova Scotian Highlanders to the assault on Bout-ion Wood. The fighvng tn- fantry colonel saw two Mark V tanks crushing machine-gun nests -—and saving infantry lfves—ahead of h’m. He did not miss tlze lesson

CANADIAN ARMY TEAM

In Canada's offensive spirited and mechanize-minded Army team of McNaughton and Crerar. there is no more scientific sold’er in high place in any army than the Cana- dian Ffeld Commander. And there is no more convinced exponent of the machlnes-for-mcn pr'nciple, with all its attributes, than the Canadian Chief of the General Staff.

COMRADES-IN-ARBIS

McNaughton and Crerar are peo- uliarly well fitted to work to- geiher in creating, training and leading the modern Canadian army. They understand earn other. McNaughton and Crcrnr have been workhg togcirer-urli thinking alike -cver since they were staffiofficers in the last war. The former was Counter-Battery Staff Officer when the latter was Staff Officer, R.A.. at Canadian Corps H. Q; and when McNaughton be- came G.O.C. Heavy Artillery.

For years before lite outbreak of this war they labored together to have mobllzation plans ready for any eventuality. Those war plans were actually laid down when Gen- eral McNaughton was Chief of Staff and General Crcrar was Gen- eral Staff Officer (Operations) at Ottawa between 193i to i934. When war came. the two officers were immediately called uporhMcNaugh- ton from the National Research Council. where he was pres‘dent. and Crerar from Royal Military College, where he was Command- ant.

OBVIOUS ADVANTAGEQ

This rise of the British prim“. slves to meet the llliTili 01m, Nazi panzer divisions. and the unique advantages which its pm. vides the Canadian Army, has not been noted by the public. 1r why, by hi-EEOTY-Perhflbs as a mljor factor in the success of British. Canadian amls on the battlefields. It is certainly obvious that close w. operations between the British llnl Canadian armies. which is so imp. eratfve to success in action. is likely to be enormously enhanced when the leaders of tlie two armies have Identical strategic and tactical views. when they appreciate each other. When they th‘nk and plan alike. It is a foregone conclusion that they and their forces will fight alike.

How the British-Canadian "Army Plan" of creating shock-troops fol- mechanized war succeeds will not be k710i‘!!! Until put. to the 0H0! in action. But there can be no doJbt

Commander was visualizing today's “val-fare and rue adaptability of the average Canadian to the new KPIDUIE and tactics.

Tile clret of stat! also had o remarkable opportunity to abaflfb modern theories and dootrlnfi! l0 the period of his staff grounding overseas. It was during the time ma; the British "tank radicals were in the ascendancy over the defensive tactlcians. As an instance. Harry Crerar was a Staff 953°" at, the “War House” in 101K100. in charge of Home Defence. when Archie Wavell was his immediate senior. It was the same two V9111‘!- 1926 and i927~wlten Col. Frederitk Pile gave those startling demons- trations of new tactics. with fast- mrlrshalled motorized infantry at- tacking behind tanks and under low-flying airplanes, which revol- utfoned all future armies and bal- tleflelds. There was no feature of German trtzkrleg tactics in 1940, except the “Fifth. Column" which was not preached and practiced ln the British Army between 1926 and 1934.

That period. prior to i034. was the most fruitful of Bri- tlsh military progress of ell the 21 years between the two Ger- man wars. Both Canadian gen- erals then worked with the most brilliant minds 1n lac British Army when mechanl - tlon was at lte peak. McNaugh- ton and Crerar are of the some school of military thought as are Dill, Brooke and Wevell.

Their doctrinal are the lame,

that the efficiency of rm,- Canadian Army is enormously enhanced by the singleness of opinion and pur- pose of its leaders overseas and it home. The matchless influence of a Defence Minister, a Field Com. mander and a Chief of staff hold- ing the same faith In the new weapons and tactics, 1s perhaps the greatest asset Canada has in creating an army to nleet tho highly mechanized Germans.
