Paratroopers, bombing, and a rapid tank invasion

A blitzkrieg (German for "lightning war") is a rapid, coordinated attack by elements of aerial, armored, and mounted infantry forces, designed to destroy opposition in the shortest period of time. By preventing an enemy from organizing a counter-attack, a blitzkrieg operation seeks to control the flow of battle without the traditional defensive flanks, and is therefore very dependent on maintaining its momentum as well as its elongated lines of supply.
