In Hawking, men would catch a wild bird and then have to tame it. To do this, they would sew the bird s eyes with a needle and thread and put the thread over the bird s head so the man could open and close the hawk s eyes at will. This way the trainer could train the hawk to hunt other birds.
blitzkrieg. German term meaning lightning war, used to describe Germany's novel military tactics in World War II, which involved the rapid movement of infantry, tanks, and airpower over large areas.
