What did blitz krieg need to succeed?

Answer 1

Blitzkrieg tactics were very successful, because they were surprise attacks, so the country being attacked usually didn't have time to prepare for the attack. They were also very quick, so Germany could blitzkrieg attack Another Country, and then leave before the country attacked could gather its military to defend themselves.

Answer 2

The BlitzThe heavy and frequent bombing attacks on London and other cities. Night after night, from September 1940 until May 1941, German bombers attacked British cities, ports and industrial areas. London was bombed every day and night for 11 weeks. One third of London was destroyed. The word ''Blitz'' is a shorten form of the German word ''Blitzkrieg'' which means ''Lightning War''.

Initially the bombing was done by aircraft, but later these were replaced by "Buzzbombs". Buzzbombs, the V1, were rockets that were loaded with explosive and ran out of fuel over London. Later still came the V2, like modern missiles, but luckily the war ended before they could do too much damage.

The population had to disappear underground whenever the warning sirens were heard and stay ther until the "All clear". Many Londoners used the underground railway stations.

The objective of the Blitz was to break civilian morale but it failed and the British, with American help, retaliated by flattening Hamburg and Berlin.

Blitzkrieg

Yes. Blitzkrieg was focused mainly on Tanks and Half-Tracks with infantry reinforcing the rear to clean up.It was successful in the early parts of the war but not against Russia due to the Russian winter.The Germans had the best tanks in the world at the time but were defeated due to Hitler's foolish actions.Had the Russian winter not arrived and froze a ton of Panzers and infantry,the Russians would have fallen to the Blitzkreig as well.

Answer 3

It's not always, just really well for Hitler. There are many different strategies based on numerous factors such as: terrain, number of soldiers, number of enemies, weather, technology, etc.

But if I think this is the answer you maybe looking for, which is blitzkrieg is a fast often unexpected attack out numbering your enemies, exactly like a defensive blitz in football except in war it is an offensive attack

Answer 4

Surprise and overwhelming force
