What was the first nation to fall to Blitzkrieg?
The first use of true blitzkrieg tactics by the German Wermacht was during the invasion of France. For many years it was thought that Poland was the first to fall to blitzkrieg tactics, but modern historians and tacticians now believe that the invasion of Poland was carried out by the use of more traditional military methods.Big Skynerd
Why was the German Blitz krieg so effective in the early years of world war 2?
First, before answering this question, we gotta know what actually is the Blitzkrieg. The Blitzkrieg aka in English "Lighting war" was a military tactic which was used by Nazi Germany through out the whole period of world war 2 in the European Theatre. German meant by Blitzkrieg is that They attack the Enemy under cover at night and attack the enemy front line defence with brutal force and at lighting speed. The Blitzkrieg was Effective on Invasion of Poland, Battle of Britain, Battle of France and Operation Barbarossa. This Military tactic helped Germany in the second World War by getting through first line of defence, it would effect how the enemy would of respond if they attacked the enemy with full alert. A Good example of the Blitzkrieg was during Operation Barbarossa. At the Start of Operation Barbarossa, Germany used the Blitzkrieg tactic with 3 separate Army Brigades which each contain 5 Panzer Divisions and 30+ Infantry Divisions. This helped Germany getting through the USSR first set of Defences, which made it easier for Germany to Encircle the USSR Army. This tactic was still used in all battles which was fought by or onto Germany, despite if German was on the attack or defence, they still used this tactic with same effectiveness because, the knew this tactic was extremely useful in the Precious years. Next i go on about in some detailed explanation why the German Blitzkrieg campaigns were very effective in the early years of World War 2. Firstly, Germany's Blitzkrieg was effective in the early years of war because, the Allies first expect a massive attack without any plans and also, that the ally defences were often not strong which would shatter when the German army and the Waffen-SS stormed through. This shows how unprepared the Allies were when Germany started invade countries like Poland, Denmark, Britain, Belgium, USSR etc... Secondly, German Blitzkrieg was effective because, when Germany used this tactic, they used tons of Military force, which shown how strong the German Blitzkrieg were effective in the Front-line battles between Germany and the other countries. This show Germans Power and their forces of army divisions, which shocked the allies, which also led to the fall of so many countries under to German control. Finally, German Blitzkrieg tactic was effective by being well Hidden and able to attack without being detected by the enemy because their good at maneuverable through enemy lines In conclusion, The German Blitzkrieg tactic was effective because; 1. The Attacks was always in large quantities of troops 2. Germany used proper force and their maxinium power to destroy enemy defences 3. Germany always knew when and How they would attack the enemy with out being detected by the enemy guards/Army Division

Was Hitler invading Poland good for Germany?
No, not really. In the immediate short term, Germany did acquire the western half of Poland. This was a beginning on Hitler's grand plan to grab territory to the east for "living room" in which Germany could expand. But in the long term invading Poland started WWII in Europe, as France and Britain declared war on Germany for invading Poland. Germany was able to defeat France, but never the British, and just under six years later Germany was in ruins, millions dead, the country divided for the next forty-five years and occupied by its enemies. And all those disastrous results flowed from the beginning, when Hitler invaded Poland.
