The Blitzkrieg

The Blitzkrieg, meaning "lightning war," was a military tactic used by Germany during World War II. It involved rapid, coordinated attacks using fast-moving tanks, aircraft, and infantry to quickly break through enemy defenses and overwhelm them before they could mount an effective response. The goal was to surprise and disrupt the adversary’s coordination, leading to swift victories and minimizing prolonged fighting. This strategy emphasized speed, surprise, and concentrated action to gain a decisive advantage in battle.
