Germany as a Military State

In World War II Germany developed a new style of attack that they would use against their enemies and they called this blitzkrieg, which meant light war in German. With blitzkrieg the Germans would use fast moving airplanes and tanks which were followed up by massive infantry forces. The first time they used this was in the invasion of Poland and it was successful as they took over Poland. Another big key in Germany's military was their air force. Germany's air force was called the Luftwaffe which meant air weapon in German. The Luftwaffe first focused on Great Britain's airfields and factories. Then they started to focus on Great Britain cities, especially London. With day time bombings not being very effective the Luftwaffe switched to night bombings.
