As with the creation of many new words are not coined by a single person, but develop over a period of time. In the German Language it is normal for single words to be merged together to give a new meaning, this is certainly the case in the term "Blitzkrieg" Contrary to common belief the word "Blitzkrieg" was not coined by Hitler or the Germany Army (Wehrmacht). The core of "Blitzkrieg" was during "Operation Sichelschnitt" on the "Maginot Line" on 25 September 1939 (on the same site as the "Battle of Sedan" was fought in September 1870 during the "Franco-Prussian War") near Sedan in France was decided. This was the biggest contribution to the start of the Blitzkrieg-Legend . The first publication that used the word "Blitzkrieg" was a privately owned military magazine by the name of "Deutsche Wehr" In the English speaking world "Blitzkrieg" was first used in "Time Magazine" in an article under the title "World War, Polish Theatre: Blitzkriege"
