Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -German forces used Blitzkrieg tactics in France in 1940, making full use of the speed and armour of tanks to break through enemy defences.

Detailed explanation-2: -The German generals dispersed Panzer forces among the three German concentrations with little emphasis on independent use; they deployed tanks to create or destroy close pockets of Polish forces and to seize operational-depth terrain in support of the largely un-motorized infantry which followed.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Abstract. 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.
