There really was a fast sweeping German blitzkrieg machine. Poland, France, and Barbarossa are clear examples of this.

The fast sweeping German blitzkrieg machine was 70% propaganda.
You can only move as fast as your supply chain and the bulk of Germany's supply chain and artillery was horse drawn. Most infantry was straight legwork. Figure out the fuel capacity vs. miles per gallon and thats as fast as they can move without resupply. They did have the balls to push it to the limit though. What worked for them is that those countries above were unprepared for total war.
