Two main topics in my research paper concern Hitler's military Tactics, and also his military Strategy. The two seem very interchangable but really they are not. Tactics relates more to the actual fighting and what is going on on the battlefield. Strategy is more of a big picture thing. It concerns all aspects of the war, and not just the fighting style of an individual battle. Dictionary.com describes these as..
Tactics: (usually used with a singular verb) the art or science of disposing military or naval forces for battle and maneuvering them in battle.
Strategy: Also, strategics. the science or art of combining and employing the means of war in planning and directing large military movements and operations.
Each term is very important and understanding them is essential to be able to understand warfare.
