Gitzkrieg

A butchering of the German word Blitzkrieg (Blitz: Lightning, Krieg: War)

Gitzkrieg (Gitz: Git lightning, Krieg: War)

For now, the z is just going to mean lightning, even though it doesn't make linguistic sense.

Attempted linguistic fixes:

  • Glitzkrieg
  • Gitzenkrieg
  • Gitzlenkrieg

Blitzkrieg

Wikipedia: A combined arms surprise attack using a rapid, overwhelming force concentration that may consist of armored and motorized or mechanized infantry formations, together with artillery, air assault and close air support, with intent to break through the opponent's lines of defense, dislocate the defenders, unbalance the enemies by making it difficult to respond to the continuously-changing front, and defeat them in a decisive Vernichtungsschlacht (battle of annihilation)

GitzKrieg

Definition pending.
