When St. Nicholas says to his reindeer, "On Donner and Blitzen," he is saying, "On thunder and lightning." Krieg is German for war. The German Language does not put spaces between nouns but runs them together. Germans like to see how many nouns they can string together without taking a breath. Mark Twain wrote a wonderful essay about the German language. So blitzkrieg means lightningwar.
