Blitzkrieg Lighting War

This book is a study of the actions of the German army in some of the most important episodes of the Second World War. More specifically, this work focuses on the period 1939-1947, when the Wehrmacht launched its Blitzkrieg or Lightning War.
This book contains 7 chapters. The first is dedicated to the Condor Legion (which first used some of the most characteristic Blitzkrieg weapons), while the second is dedicated to the process that led to the outbreak of war. The operations that defined the Blitzkrieg are studied and discussed in the rest of the book.
We have included a large number of historical photographs, many of them unpublished, and added color images to represent the most representative uniforms used by the Wehrmacht during this period.
The historical images used come from archives and public and private collections. We would like to acknowledge the collaboration of Antonio González Sánchez and Santiago Guillén González, who made their incredible collections available to the author.
This book has been supplemented by a large number of color profiles of aircraft and armored vehicles, as their use was one of the keys to the success of the Blitzkrieg in the early years of the Second World War.
