Blitzkrieg (from the German meaning lightning war) is a form of warfare involving fast movement. It was most famously used by the German army in World War II during the invasions of France, Poland and the Soviet Union.
In blitzkrieg a few fast-moving units with tanks and supported by aircraft overrun or surround slower moving units. These are often captured with little actual fighting.
