His name was Hans Guderian, but he was not Armenian. This is the general credited with creating the blitzkrieg tactic.

I've been olways thought that he was.
And this ian and his surname is not German at all.

Dear Taguhi,

There are a lot of last names ending with "ian," which have nothing to do with Armenians.

[Taguhi]

Maybe you right.
Do you know this joke that Hitler was an Armenian. Why?
Because they say him HAY Hitler

[Boghos]

How about "wassup, dude ?", Armenian or not ?

[Taguhi]

I'm not disappointed that he wasn't Armenian.
Finally he was German general.

Taguhi we've discussed about Guderian before. Try to search by is name. If I'm not mistaken he was a son of austrian general.
