What was the blitzkrieg and the German Luftwaffe?
Blitzkrieg or lightning war was the German invasion tactic of WWII. It involved a sudden attack on all fronts including bombing and strafing by the Luftwaffe or German Air Force. The tactics were very successful.
What is a sudden military attack called?
A sudden attack is known either as a 'surprise attack' or an 'ambush.' Although both are unexpected, a surprise attack is typically a land offensive (the German Offensive @ Battle of the Bulge), whereas in an ambush a patrol or unit is fired on by defenders in a concealed position.
What did Germany do during the sitzkrieg?
Not much. Sat around mostly, drinking beer and playing the accordion. You probably want to ask about the Blitzkrieg(Lightning War), where Germany engaged in sudden, massive attacks, making considerable use of tanks, bombers, and (later) unmanned planes (V1) and rockets (V2).
Could Hitler have been stopped if the Germans' economy had been healthy and strong?
No. That was why he had to wait through the 20's, until the Wall Street crash of 1929, and the sudden mass unemployment. He rose to power by exploiting the frustration of defeated ex-troops who were hungry and ready for revenge.
What is a sudden shortage of goods called?
Supply Shock
