Hitler launched the Blitzkrieg, a rapid, massive assault that quickly subdued the nations he invaded. After the fall of Poland, Hitler continued to apply this successful strategy, seizing control of more of Europe’s northern and western nations, including France. When seeking to add Britain to his growing empire, Hitler first launched the Blitz, a series of surprise nighttime bombing raids. The point of the strategy was to destroy the nation’s air force, but it was the British pilots who were responsible for ending the Blitz and preventing the invasion of Britain.
Hitler's strategy in Europe was new and was never used before. It was
simply known as "Blitzkrieg". This strategy was basically a very fast
form of fighting where the Germans would overrun the enemy when they
didn't expect it and didn't have enough time to get troops to the battle
zone to defend the area. This new strategy caused Great Britain to
change up their strategy because until then they were never successfully
invaded. Around this time radar was beginning to be introduced and was
being developed by Great Britain to detect air raids from Germany which
occurred frequently. This new strategy also caused Britain to become
more defensive and withdraw troops to save their lives Germany's new
strategy, an example of this would be the Battle of Dunkirk, also known
as the "Miracle of Dunkirk" due to the fact that 300,000 British troops
were saved from Germany. This new defensive strategy usually resulted in
"Stalemates" which basically meant there was no decisive victory for
each side until the United States began fighting for the allied side and
the British started winning.
