I've always been interested in military theory/history and recently have been digging deeper into the details of WWII. More and more I keep wondering what the theoretical and doctrinal bases for the different militaries were. I feel I have a handle on Soviet doctrine, having read a few books by David Glantz on the subject and both Strategy by Svechin and The Nature of the Operations of Modern Armies by Triandafillov, but I'm having trouble finding the core works put out by the General Staff of the other participants of the war.
Does anyone have any suggestions of works to read that would give me a sense of the theoretical and doctrinal thought of France, Germany, Britain and/or the US? Works on how that theory was applied in specific instances would also be excellent (for example, I loved Glantz's very detailed The Soviet Strategic Offensive in Manchuria and Soviet Operational and Tactical Combat in Manchuria, that showed in many ways the 'ideal' application of Soviet doctrine on the ground).
This is sort of a followup to this question I asked a few months ago
USA accepted policy of not stirring in European affairs, but was heavily involved in the war in South America and Central America (Banana Wars). Anyway, the biggest opponent of the United States believed the British Commonwealth and the struggle for influence in the Americas so prepared plan "Red vs. Blue" plan of land war with Canada and the Maritime Warfare of the British fleet in the Atlantic. The plan of naval warfare was basically a copy of the Battle of Jutland and assumptions of both sides had end in a draw and the gigantic losses for both sides. No consideration of the role of aircraft carriers, submarines and modern communication.
Development discussions about the tactics of infantry, tanks and aviation in the United States were associated only with an increase in funds for the reinforcement and the experience of fighting marines in Nicaragua. But I still was based on the experience of trench warfare. So in addition to the development of machine guns and self-loading rifles for the infantry, the U.S. recognized the priorities artillery, navy and aviation (which developed due to the lobbying aviation companies and similar steps in the world and not their own military doctrine or the nearest threats). In turn, no one was interested in the development of tanks, mechanized infantry, airborne troops and marines. Due to the large Automotive Industry and low prices of vehicles, the U.S. was the only army in the world fully motorized (she had only trucks and cars rather than horse sleds)
