What was the military strategy of "Blitzkrieg" and how did it compare to the trench warfare of WWI? How was Blitzkrieg used during World War II? Was it successful?

Yay a subject based off my favorite war. The Blitzkrieg attacks or strategy was a strategy used by the germans to gain surprised advantages against its enemies. The way it was used was by using heavily amored and stocked tanks to use surpreme force against the enemy ensuring a fast a steady victory. Basically going all out on someone. Yes and No it wasn't succesful because the americans figured out their plan before it was proven to be a problem.
