“Lightning military strike”, what an interesting turn of phrase.

How would one say that in German? Just wondering.

Blitzkrieg, if my ~~history~~ German serves me

Technically no, the Blitzkrieg would apply in a full blown war. Krasnov ordered a commando mission.

So a blitz special operation?

Does it rhyme with shitskrieg?
