All in all, the sports that were played in the Elizabethan Era had many differences and similarities to modern day sports. From bearbaiting to jousting, there were many varieties also.

In German, Blitzkrieg means lightning war (Blitz-Krieg). Blitzkrieg was named so because it included surprise attacks, Lighting fast rapid advances into enemy territory, with coordinated massive air attacks, which struck and shocked the enemy as if it was struck by lightning.
Thus, the image of the German 'Blitzkrieg' army is a figment of propaganda imagination. During the First World War the German army used 1.4 million horses for transport and in the Second World War used 2.7 million horses; only ten percent of the army was motorised in 1940.
