Due to the newly destructive nature of warfare in WWI, Germany decided to innovate new tactics to achieve offensive success. The Germans created a new unit type which employed small groups of elite soldiers, who often attacked with newly developed submachine guns. What was the name of this type of German soldier (which would go on to inspire term in Star Wars)?
Answer Stormtroopers
The Sturmtruppen, or Stormtrooper, tactic changed the way infantry fought. Instead of attacking in massive waves of infantry, the Stormtroopers moved forward in small units, using some more modern weapons, and would infiltrate into enemy lines.
