The Blitzkrieg was a military tactic inaugurated by Hitler. It was used in the Polish and French campaigns of 1939 and 1940. This tactic was to no longer focus on the ridiculous form of battle in which holes were dug and artillery shells were thrown at one another (Snyder-Third Reich).

The most crucial element of the Blitzkrieg was the new technology in radiotelephony, and the transmission of speech rather than Morse code.

With those advances German commanders

New advances in weaponry also gave the Blitzkrieg some of its edge. Field artillery, new to World War II was used in close cooperation and coordination with infantry, tanks, and other units of the German forces. The rapid massing of field artillery fire led to new developments in the design of sights, carriages, and operating equipment.

Light forces, such as motorcycle infantry, light trucks, and motor-drawn artillery were sent ahead to put a dent in enemy forces. Next the heavier tanks and artillery were sent ahead to back up the smaller vehicles. Finally, the last step of the blitzkrieg was the deployment of regular infantry. The regular infantry was sent in to mop up remaining resistance and join up with advancing troops (Snyder- Third Reich 29).
