Wehrmacht history Throughout his career Citino has advocated changing the current nomenclature of German military tactics. Although he uses the word
Blitzkrieg on the cover of his books, he has always espoused the view that it should be called by its proper German military term,
Bewegungskrieg, or
manoeuvre warfare. Citino has taught courses on
Nazi Germany and
American military history, including
Korean War,
Vietnam War, and the
Cold War. On March 15, 2013, Citino was awarded the 2013 Distinguished Book Award by the
Society for Military History for his work
The Wehrmacht Retreats: Fighting a Lost War, 1943. The book explores German losses in key campaigns in 1943—losses which would eventually lead to an erosion of the German military's strategic advantage. It is his second Distinguished Book Award; he previously received one in 2004 for his book
Blitzkrieg to Desert Storm. Citino was a visiting professor at the
United States Army War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania for the 2013–14 academic school year. ==Awards==
