The Blitzkreig (otherwise known as a blitz) was a military tactic of weakening the enemy as fast as possible. For a couple of days, the place of assault would be heavily bombed, usually by carpet bombing. A couple ore days are resulted with artillery, tanks, and any other heavy gun pounding the crap out of the place. Once the assault is done, the troops just march in, picking off survivors. The tactic orginated with the invasion of Poland.

When Germany realised they couldn't invade England they used terror tactics to make it surrender, like the Blitz. They were also trying to invade France and later on Russia with their land troops so they used the Luftwaffe to bomb Britain.

The blitz happened because Germany tried to make Britain surrender by bombing it. They used bombs instead of tanks and men because they couldn't get them their fast enough.
