Personally I wonder what the motivation behind choosing "Blitz" as the name was. Sure, it means "flash" or "lightning" in German, but it also has some pretty negative historical connotations. E.g. if you google "blitz wikipedia english", you get "The Blitz" as the first result, which refers to the bombing campaigns of the Nazis against Great Britain during WW2 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blitz). Also, there is the term "Blitzkrieg" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blitzkrieg), referring to the Nazi invasions of Poland and France.
