Update to the question:
Is there a particular event during the war that "the blitzkrieg" brings to mind?

Maybe the earliest events that qualified: Spain
Guernica--for those who adsorb 'politics' via artistic depiction aka pics not words.
Thus depicted Picasso: the joint-German/Italian bombing of a village in 1937--proving ground for events following Sept. 1939. But generally I share--as icon--the 'motorized cavalry' sturm und drang as cited by others. ie ground action not unlike a day at a NASCAR event/with guns? Vroom Vroom ... Aieeeeee! ...

Not for me.
I just associate it with Nazi Germany at war: aerial bombardments from them on London and from the Brits over Germany.
