The type of warfare you are referring to is called "Blitzkrieg," which translates to "lightning war" in German. Blitzkrieg was characterized by fast and coordinated attacks using a combination of infantry, tanks, and air support to quickly overwhelm and incapacitate the enemy. This strategy emphasized speed and surprise, enabling German forces to invade and conquer countries like Poland in 1939 and France in 1940 with surprising efficiency. The aim was to avoid the prolonged trench warfare that characterized World War I, achieving rapid victories and minimizing casualties.
This was a new type of warfare that the Germans used to run through France and Poland in the early parts of world War 2.
