Blitzkreig literally means "Lightning War", and it is the popular term for a military strategy used by the Germans in WWII.

Blitzkreig tactics included bombing the target, and then quickly following with large mobile artillery, surprising the enemy and keeping them from putting up a worthwhile defense.

The only other major uses of Blitzkreig are a few bands, a few songs, a few games, and some comic book references.
