Blitzkrieg in World War II

Just like its name "lightning", blitzkrieg should concentrate the strongest power it can get and strike the enemy quickly in the most unexpected way.

By invading Poland and the Soviet Union, I think the Germans only explained part of the blitzkrieg: concentrating troops and attacking quickly. The surprise attacks of these two battles were only due to the lack of declaration of war and the lack of preparation of Poland and the Soviet Union.

The "Yellow Action" invading France, I think, is a perfect interpretation of Blitzkrieg. What I want to say in particular is that this is not the same thing as invading Poland and the Soviet Union. The allies were not unprepared for the German attack. Instead, the main force will be deployed in maginot line, ready to fight with the Germans in positional warfare mode in World War I ... while the Germans will focus on the place where the Allies think the Germans are most unlikely to attack: the Ardennes Mountains. Due to the undulating terrain and dense trees in Ardennes, it is difficult for large-scale mechanized troops to cross. The Germans, on the other hand, deployed almost all their armored forces in the Ardennes Mountains, relying on engineers to open the way and unexpectedly crossing the Ardennes Mountains, which led to the collapse of the Allies (otherwise they would be surrounded by the Germans), and the balance of victory tilted sharply towards the Germans.

The German North African Corps made full use of the desert terrain in North Africa, gave full play to the advantages of mechanized troops, and often attacked the British flank and rear by surprise with inferior troops, which was also a very typical blitzkrieg mode.

Blitzkrieg usually refers to German actions. In fact, I think anything that meets several elements of blitzkrieg can be regarded as it.
