blitzkrieg
Krieg is the German word for war. The focus is on manoeuvre and combined arms (armour, air, artillery, and infantry) rather than attrition to win the war. WW I was a war of attrition but German generals reealized that the arrival of mechanization meant the old style of static defenses could be overrrun at their weakest point and that opening then exploited for huge victoires.
Germans didn't use the term, it was popularized in America.

Blitz means lightning, Blitzkreig means lightning war and attack translates to Angriff but the term your looking for is blitzkreig
