Who coined the word blitzkrieg?

The word "blitzkrieg" was not coined by a single person but rather emerged as a term in Germany during the 1930s, likely arising from military circles and the media.

While no definitive origin can be pinned down, it is widely believed that the term evolved from the German phrase "Blitz Krieg," meaning "lightning war." This was a descriptive phrase for the rapid, mechanized warfare tactics employed by the German military during World War II.

The term "blitzkrieg" was popularized by journalists and commentators, and it quickly became synonymous with the German military's aggressive and effective offensive strategies.
