Correct choices:
- He relied heavily on the speed, size and power of the German military.
- He used air power to subdue the enemy quickly.
Explanation: In both campaigns Germany used Blitzkrieg—concentrated tanks, motorized infantry and artillery backed by the Luftwaffe—to achieve rapid breakthroughs and encirclements. Strategic bombing of cities was not the primary objective in either case (and widespread terror-bombing was more characteristic of later stages), and while Germany did invade neighboring countries during the 1940 western campaign to outflank France, the assault on the USSR was a direct large-scale invasion rather than a preliminary conquest intended simply to “prove” German power.
