The Germans use Blitzkrieg attacks on Poland, Belgium, The Netherlands, France, Norway, Yugoslavia and Greece. They also conquered Denmark, but in a single day, apparently by political terms. The USSR (Russia, the Baltic states, East Poland, Ukraine and Belorussia) was also victim of the blitzkrieg tactic, having an outstanding success at first, but was halted by the numerous Russian forces near Moscow.
"Germany successfully used the Blitzkrieg tactic against Poland (attacked in September 1939), Denmark (April 1940), Norway (April 1940), Belgium (May 1940), the Netherlands (May 1940), Luxembourg (May 1940), France (May 1940), Yugoslavia (April 1941), and Greece (April 1941)."

∙ 13y agoThe German army raced through Poland. The world had never seen anything like it and learned a new word: Blitzkrieg, or lightning war. It began with bombers, then tanks, and finally German troops. Germany took over 2/3 of its population.

∙ 11y agoIt depends what you mean by "Blitzkrieg War", especially since there was no such thing as Blitzkrieg.
However it was generally taken (until certain documents were recently brought to light) that "The Blitzkrieg" was the invasion France by Germany.
This involved the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Great Britain and, of course, Germany.
This was a part of WWII, which also managed to involve the USA, the USSR, Japan, Italy, Greece, the Balkans, Romania, Burma... etc. etc. (Hence the term World War).
