The Blitzkrieg Machine in Action - The Invasion of France | Nazi Mega Weapons: Blitzkrieg Part 4

After defeating Poland in just a few weeks, Hitler decided to use the new Blitzkrieg technique against France. His attack in May 1940 involved striking behind British and French defences with a large force of fast moving tanks led by Guderian. The plan worked brillantly and the lightning advance across France by Guderian's panzers is still regarded as one of the most successful operations in the history of warfare.
