Germans named their strategy Blitzkrieg or "Lightning War". The strategy was very inovative at the time and cosisted of 3 steps:

1. armored vehicles and tanks would attack the enemy battle line at a single point, push trough and leave this "gap" for...

2.the infantry and support units to follow trough after which...

3.the German army would attack their enemy from behind and move on.

The name Blitzkrieg was given to this strategy because the attacks were fast and over quickly, and allowed the Nazi to quickly take up large territories. Sometimes, they would move at the speed of 200km per day which is huge for an army of that time especially if you have to fight at every 10km.
