Yes this doctrine looks suspiciously like “yeah but we would succeed where they failed” backseat quarterbacking. There are so many brittle assumptions in their 4-division 4-phase model. And if any assumption breaks you have the wrong units in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong equipment, wrong training and wrong doctrine.
Exactly that - plus 1940 France just isn't a very good template for an offensive model in the first place. Unfortunately, the assumptions embedded in some real-life units (*cough* MLRs) are even worse.
