I believe the answer to this question is that it involved using fast-moving airplanes and tanks, followed by massive infantry forces, to take enemies by surprise. And that it was basically Germany's newest battle strategy.
Although "Blitzkrieg" was made (in)famous by Germany in the opening half of World War 2, it's actual origins stem from the end of World War 1.
One of the earliest modern battles which crystallised the use of surprise and the use of combined arms (tanks, planes, infantry, artillery, supply drops etc) was at the battle of Hamel - in WW1.
This seems to be the first time that the use of surprise and combined arms were combined together for devastating effect. It was an extension of the earlier battle of Cambrai - which had experimented in small ways along these lines.
The outstanding success of the plan changed the way the war was fought - and accelerated the end of world war one.
