Blitzkrieg

It means "war of lightning" - the main idea was to overrun the ennemy strategic points in a hurry without giving any time for reaction. Obviously this idea was influenced by the large battlefields of the first world war... where many soldiers died while the position of every party didn't really move at all... some feet ahead, some feet backwards.

The Blitzkrieg-strategy lead the Germans to fast wins over Poland and France.
