German, literally lightning war or flash war) is a popular name for an offensive operational-level military doctrine which involves an initial bombardment followed by employment of mobile forces attacking with speed and surprise to prevent an enemy from implementing a coherent defense. The founding principles of these types of operations were developed in the 19th Century by various nations, and adapted in the years after World War I, largely by the German Wehrmacht, to incorporate modern weapons and vehicles as a method to help avoid the stalemate of trench warfare and linear warfare in future conflicts. The first practical implementations of these concepts coupled with modern technology were instituted by the Wehrmacht in the opening theatres of World War II. The strategy was particularly effective in the invasions of France, The Netherlands and initial operations in the Soviet Union. These operations were dependent on surprise penetrations, general enemy unpreparedness and an inability to react swiftly enough to German offensive operations. That the German Army quickly defeated numerically and technically superior enemies in France led many analysts to believe that a new system of warfare had been invented.

Good answers here. You also may find it interesting that the Polish were totally unprepared, had no weaponry, no defense department. I'll give it to the Poles though, they went out and faced the German Army with pitchforks, personal weapons and most were on horseback. Any cannon and other larger weapons they had dated back to WWI and the caissons were pulled by horses...

Mechanized infantry against guys on horses. It was not all that great of a "conquest." Specially when the USSR invaded from the other side.

he used one major strategy for everything- called a blitzkreig. it works really cool, not that i supported him. it starts off with hundreds of war planes just bombing everything . then tanks rush throug hand take out everything else. then soldiers do a ground sweep and take hostages.

It was known as The Blizkreig because of the massive assault and the overwhelming use of force and tanks.

the blitzkreig. it was all about attacking fast and in secret. it worked exceptionally well until they were forced to be on the defensive.
