Blitzkrieg
Swift military campaign, as used by Germany at the beginning of World War II (1939–41). It was characterized by rapid movement by mechanized forces, supported by tactical air forces acting as ‘flying artillery’ and is best exemplified by the campaigns in Poland in 1939 and France in 1940.
The abbreviated Blitz was applied to the attempted saturation bombing of London by the German air force between September 1940 and May 1941.
