In World War I many battles on the Western Front lasted weeks or months, often degenerating into glacial and indecisive campaigns of attrition. By the 1930s, however, military science had recreated the possibility of a decisive battle. An unprecedented rate of technological change meant that a stream of new inventions were readily at hand for military innovators to exploit. Aircraft, armored vehicles, and new forms of motorized transport became available to make possible a fresh style of offensive warfare when the next European war began in 1939. A belief in the importance of effective war fighting was vital to the Nazi vision of Germanys future. Nazi Germanys political and military leaders aimed for rapid and decisive victory in battle. From 19391945 new ideologies and new machines of war carried destruction across the globe.
