21. Blitzkrieg “During the interwar period, aircraft and tank technologies matured and were combined with systematic application of the German tactics of infiltration and bypassing of enemy strong points. When Germany invaded Poland in 1939, Western journalists adopted the term Blitzkrieg to describe this form of armored warfare.”
22. Ambush “Ambushers strike from concealed positions, such as among dense underbrush or behind hilltops. Ambushes have been used consistently throughout history, from ancient to modern warfare. During ancient warfare, an ambush often might involve thousands of soldiers on a large scale. Hannibal encamped within striking distance of the Romans with the Trebbia River between them, and placed a strong force of cavalry and infantry in concealment, near the battle zone”
