"Lightning
war"
Blitzkrieg was used by the German war
machine in the 1930's where the enemy's military power is assessed and then bettered. Blitzkrieg starts with
air raids, followed bylong range artillery, which is closely followed by mobilzed armour divisions.
Foot soldiers then progress and swarm the enemy, intimidating them to give up.
Focus would go onto a particular point of weakness in the enemies' lines, and the point would be ceaselessly hounded until
broke, so that the full force could rush it and destroy command lines and
use automatic weapons on all those that ran to aid this breakage.
The fundamentals of blitzkrieg were
-for everyone to follow their instinct, rather than accept orders from the highest and go down the chain, which allowed the warfare to be
-highly momentous, unlike World
war one, where a stalemate was reached.
Blitzkrieg relied heavily on communication, and exploited the radio fully.
