Quote:
"Blitz" means lightning and "Blitzkrieg" means "lightning war" in German. Through constant motion, the blitzkrieg attempts to keep its enemy off-balance, making it difficult to respond effectively at any given point before the front has already moved on.  Now, can you tell me why the Australians call the CMP a Blitz truck?  Hanno

Or was it that they were used to the speed of walking sheep before this flashy truck was shipped in from Canada?

The term 'blitz buggy' was more universal earlier in the war being applied to vehicles other than CMPs, which were initially called 'desert blitz' among other names.
