Title: Fastest advance in history
Post by: DicedT on February 07, 2014, 03:38:24 PM
I should know this, but what was the fastest advance in military history? I'm thinking it was Rommel's army after winning at Gazala and pursuing the British to El Alamein.

That's the other one that occurred to me. Guess it's Gazala to El Alamein versus Kuwait border to Baghdad.

What about Guderian and Rommel in France? From first shots at the Ardennes to reaching the French coast was 11 days.
