The "Blitz" or Blitzkreig was a type of attack warfare that Germany had developed in order to invade foreign countries and capitulate them rather quickly. It means "lightning war" and comprised of coordinating air and land forces to strick quickly and effeciently to overwhelm the opposing forces. It involved armored vehicles, mobile infantry, and the Luftwaffe (German Air force) coordinating their attacks in a fast moving manner. It is where the blitz comes from in football. Modern US forces utilize the same type of coordinated attacks when confronting enemy forces.
