====World War II====
From the beginning, the German military stressed wireless communications, equipping their combat vehicles with radios, and drilled all units to rely on disciplined radio use as a basic element of tactics. This allowed them to respond to developing threats and opportunities during battles, giving the Germans a notable tactical advantage early in the war; even where Allied tanks initially had better firepower and armour, they generally lacked individual radios.<ref>{{cite book |last=Healy |first=Mark |editor-last=Prigent |editor-first=John |title=Panzerwaffe: The Campaigns in the West 1940 |volume=I |page=23 |location=London |publisher=Ian Allan |year=2008 |isbn=978-0-7110-3240-8}}</ref> By mid-war, Western Allied tanks adopted full use of radios, although Russian use of radios remained relatively limited.
