Abstract

U ovome završnome radu ukratko su opisane okolnosti zbog kojih je počeo Drugi svjetski rat i
Domovinski rat. Zatim su ukratko kronološki opisane operacije koje su prethodile prije operacije
„Fall gelb“ i operacije „Oluja“ s ciljem razumijevanja strateške pozicije vojski odnosno država
koje su napadale. Poslije toga opisana je povijest Blitzkriega, koja se razvila između dva svjetska
rata, a kulminirala u Drugome Svjetskome ratu u Njemačkim osvajanjima Europe. Moderna
varijanta tog Blitzkriega pokazana je u operaciji „Oluja“ s naglaskom proboja kroz Dinaru.
Definirana je doktrina Blitzkriega i pet glavnih faktora na kojima se temelji ta taktika sa
isticanjem glavnog faktora – faktora obmanjivanja. Iza toga, detaljno je opisana operacija
prodora kroz Ardene odnosno Njemački napad na Francusku i opisana je operacija „Oluja“. U
navedenim operacijama pozornost je usmjerena na obmanjivanje, pokazanom na primjeru
detaljnih priprema i metodama kojima su se Njemačka i Hrvatska vojska koristile kako bi
zavarale svog protivnika i postigle uspjeh u ratovanju. Na kraju je donesen sveobuhvatan
zaključak na temelju sličnosti i razlika navedenih operacija.

Abstract (english)

This final paper briefly describes the circumstances that led to the outbreak of World War II and
the Homeland War. Then, the operations that preceded the operation "Fall gelb" and the
operation "Storm" were briefly described chronologically, with the aim of understanding the
strategic position of the armies and states that attacked. The history of Blitzkrieg, which
developed between the two world wars and culminated in World War II in the German conquests
of Europe, is then described. A modern variant of this Blitzkrieg was shown in Operation Storm
with an emphasis on breaking through the Dinara. The Blitzkrieg doctrine and the five main
factors on which this tactic is based are defined, with an emphasis on the main factor - the
deception factor. After that, the operation of penetration through the Ardennes, ie the German
attack on France, was described in detail, and the operation "Storm" was described. In these
operations, attention is focused on deception, shown by the example of detailed preparations and
methods used by the German and Croatian armies to deceive their opponents and achieve success
in warfare. Finally, a comprehensive conclusion was reached based on the similarities and
differences of the above operations.
