Historians often talk about the relative speed at which the German mechanized forces were able to advance, penetrate and subsequently encircle and pincer enemy forces from all sides.
They also discuss how the bulk of the regular infantry was the opposite, moving slow and steady from the rear.
So what if the German command, wishing to mechanize these forces as well, decides to cut production elsewhere (U-Boat maybe?) and put towards mass producing light and/or heavy armored cars?
From an infantry speed and effectiveness stand point in blitzkrieg, what effect would more 6 or 8 wheeled armored cars have on Operation Barbarossa and/or Case Blue, Fall Gelb, etc?
