This is the tactic used originally by the German army in World War I which involved a fast, mobile offensive to quickly and decisivly take over territory before a response can be made. WW2, not WW1..... Lighting War is the use of a spearhead of armoured troops to punch a hole in the enemys' defence, aided by aerial bombing, which devastates & demoralises the opposition.
