Blitzkrieg, meaning "lightning war" in German, was a military tactic used by Nazi Germany during World War II that emphasized rapid, coordinated attacks using infantry, tanks, and air support to quickly overwhelm enemies. This strategy was first effectively used in the invasions of Poland and France, leading to swift German victories. The speed and surprise of blitzkrieg often left opposing forces unable to organize an effective defense.
