Blitzkrieg, which means "lightning war" in German, was a military strategy employed by the Germans during World War II. It involved using quick and coordinated attacks by ground and air forces to achieve swift victory. This strategy emphasized speed, surprise, and the use of overwhelming force to break through enemy defenses and create chaos and confusion. The goal was to bypass enemy lines and encircle opposing forces, cutting off their supply lines and forcing them to surrender. The Germans successfully employed this strategy in the early years of the war, particularly during the invasion of Poland, France, and the Soviet Union.
