Thank you - well explained; any book recommendations?

The German Way of War explains Bewegungskrieg influenced western military thinking. Mission Command directly addresses how the US Army adapted German mission command philosophy. The Challenge of Command discusses leadership concepts including German influences on US officer education. Finally, Masters of War: Military Dissent and Politics in the Vietnam Era directly contrasts American attrition warfare with German maneuver concepts that the US later adopted.
