"Lightning War" is the English translation of the German phrase "Blitzkrieg". It referred to Hitler's sudden and massive invasion of a country, rolling through it at high speed with armor, and bringing it to collapse before it even fully realizes what is happening. It worked fine, until he tried it against Russia. That was the end of "Blitzkrieg".
