Blitzkrieg or "lightning war" was Hitler's terrifying, ruthless but highly effective tactic that brought countries such as Poland, Czechoslovakia and France to their knees in the early years of World War Two. Originally conceived during the Great War, the Germans added air power and the crucial element of political surprise to the concept of Blitzkrieg; a concept to which Germany's enemies had no answer. This DVD is a powerful record of the battle strategy which struck fear into the people of Europe and includes rare archive footage from German sources and informative illustrations and graphics.

Narrated by Michael Leighton.
