As in many other armies from the period of World War II, the role of field workshops in the German army and the possibility of restoring damaged or broken vehicles to service was considerable. At the level of the infantry division in 1939, this role was played by the unit supply consisting of 9 columns of trucks, a workshop company and a motorized supply company. In the armored division (post from 1939), this role was played by a quartermaster battalion consisting of 6 light supply columns, two field workshops and a quartermaster company. Due to the large variety of machinery (off-road vehicles, trucks, tracked vehicles, etc.) that existed in the Wehrmacht, these subunits were very important to ensure the efficient operation of an infantry division or an armored division. It is also worth adding that the workshop units in the German army were mostly motorized or mechanized, and also - in mechanized units - had quite specialized equipment, such as tanks of technical facilities (German: Bergepanzer).

Despite their defeat in World War I, the German officer corps in the interwar period still saw the main means of victory in a future war in an offensive operation. Thus, he drew a different experience from the Great War than his French counterpart. Based on the experience of 1914-1918, including the infiltration tactics used by the Stosstruppen troops, but also noticing the intense development of aviation and armored weapons, part of the German officer corps (e.g. Gen. Heinz Guderian) developed theoretical assumptions of the so-called lightning war (German: Blitzkrieg), that is, striving to knock down the enemy with one decisive offensive operation carried out in the shortest possible time and with the maximum intensity of forces and resources. The German officer corps was also trained according to this offensive doctrine of war in the 1930s and during the world war. It is also worth adding that German officers of almost all levels in the course of World War II used the principle of the so-called command by task (Ger. Auftragstaktik), that is, they outlined to their subordinates the task to be achieved and the forces at their disposal, while the execution of the task was entirely up to them. Such a model of command, based on very well and uniformly trained officers, led to the fact that the German army was highly flexible in action and was able to react faster to various levels than its opponents (e.g. the French army during the campaign of 1940 or Soviet army of 1941). This system proved successful (especially at lower levels) throughout World War II. It is also worth adding that many outstanding commanders served in the German officer corps from the Second World War, including: Erich von Manstein, Heinz Guderian, Erwin Rommel and Walter Model.
