It's easy to filter out the heeraboos by probing which B-word they use to describe German land doctrine.

Bewegungskrieg (I may have spelled that incorrectly) was the actual doctrine, and yes, it was an innovative precursor to today's land-air battle. Blitzkrieg was just a slang.

Today I learned I'm a heeraboo. Is blitzkrieg really just slang for bewegungskrieg?

You spelled it right :)
