Blitzkrieg wrote:I was originally Blitzkrieg_Beetle, named after the magazine feature that got me hooked onto ACVWs.

Then, I later asked eben to change it to Blitzkrieg, because I didn't have a Beetle, but a Type 3 instead :twisted:

My name makes no sense in English (Hi, I'm lightningwar :lol: ), but "blitzkrieg" and everything else associated with Blitz sounds so cool. I also have a huge admiration for the German Army and their general tactics and symbols that were used during the Second World War, so blitzkrieg I am :P
The term lightning war strikes fear into millions of european people who actually experinced it and also the resistance and the english and later the americans who had to beat it. It was a phenomenon of the time and an acute tactic. I mean no dis respect but i thought you should know....ps i also like the word BLITZKRIEG its hard as nails and makes me think of panzers!
