Organization seemed to be the key. To get huge masses of properly matched men and materials to the right place at the right time in the right order with the swiftness required to even grasp survival — to wrestle an infinitely complex and confusing reality into the abstract shape of victory — organization, it seemed, might even outrank courage as a soldierly virtue.
Blitzkrieg myth has many holes. So much so that the one of the primary reasons for it seems to be a propaganda cover for the leadership failure of Germany's enemies.
Look into what recent historians are pointing out. Accurate history has to wait until the generation that lived it passes on. Leaders are especially prone to lying, for many reasons. The reality is much more interesting than the glossed-over myths.

I rode a tank
Held a generals rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank

I find it a bit ironic that all the opening shots are of Tigers and Panthers, after the use of Blitzkrieg.
