What is the best definition of a “blitzkrieg”?

Answer
A
devastating airplane attack
B
rapid invasion by air and land
C
destruction of airplanes and tanks
D
attack by multiple infantry troops

Blitzkrieg means “lightning war”: a fast, coordinated attack using air power and ground forces to overwhelm an opponent. Therefore, the best definition is a rapid invasion by air and land. A devastating airplane attack alone does not capture the combined forces and speed of blitzkrieg.
