The invasion
of Poland gave rise to modern warfare that was literally powered by the
internal combustion engine. Blitzkrieg
(German, "lightning war" listen is an anglicised word describing
all-motorised force concentration of tanks, infantry, artillery, combat
engineers and air power, concentrating overwhelming force at high speed to
break through enemy lines, and, once the lines are broken, proceeding without
regard to its flank. Through constant motion, the blitzkrieg attempts to keep
its enemy off-balance, making it difficult to respond effectively at any given
point before the front has already moved on.
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 armoured warfare

DISASTER AND
THE END OF THE AIRSHIP ERA
The
Hindenburg disaster marked the beginning of the end for travel by dirigible.
But airships were once a popular and luxurious way to travel.

NICHOLAS | PUBLISHED IN HISTORY TODAY
On May 6th
1937, the German airship LZ 129 Hindenburg was destroyed in a fire whilst
attempting to dock at a station in New Jersey.
Theories about what exactly happened differ: at the time, it was thought to be an act of sabotage, but it is now believed that a spark, possibly caused by static build-up, ignited a fire that blazed through the hydrogen-filled craft. The ensuing inferno, which took the lives of 13 passengers, 22 crew, and one person on the ground, was captured on cine film and memorably narrated by the newsreader, Herbert Morrison ....
