Blitzkrieg: Lightning War

Blitzkrieg is a tactic using speed and surprise, using light tanks, planes and infantry (soldiers on foot). It was designed to hit hard and move on immediately, creating panic among the civilian population. Once a target was selected, Stuka dive bombers were sent in to destroy all rail lines, communication centres and rail links. They would be followed quickly by tanks and infantry, with the aim of tearing through a part of the enemy line. This would enable them to target the enemy’s inner defences and infrastructure and made it difficult for the enemy to respond. Then they would encircle the enemy.
