WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Germany quickly overran much of Europe and was victorious for more than two years by relying on this new military tactic of “Blitzkrieg.” Blitzkrieg tactics required the concentration of offensive weapons (such as tanks, planes, and artillery) along a narrow front.

Detailed explanation-2: -Poland, 1939 Although journalists popularized the term blitzkrieg during the September 1939 invasion of Poland, historians Matthew Cooper and J. P. Harris have written that German operations during this campaign were consistent with traditional methods.

Detailed explanation-3: -The blitzkrieg was a form of military operation developed by an innovative member of the German military-Heinz Guderian-shortly before World War II.

Detailed explanation-4: -Seventy-five years ago, on June 22, 1941, Nazi Germany attacked the Soviet Union, betting on a brief war with the firmest of goals, a type of war that came to be known as blitzkrieg. By June 1941 the German Wehrmacht had evolved into one of the most powerful and effective military machines in history.

Detailed explanation-5: -Blitzkrieg relied on surprise, speed, and ground coverage, making use of each military branch within the Wehrmacht. By calling on seamen and soldiers alike, Germany freed up enough resources to ensure that any resistance could be squashed. Blitzkriegs followed a formulaic approach: attack, penetrate, and encircle.
