Meth chocolate, fascism, and taking on armies using WWI tech and tactics
It can't be discounted the amount of luck they had early on, as well.
I guess they were a bit better than France when it came to how to use tanks and the whole "allowing leaders on the ground to take the initiative" but that's about it.
Yup, biggest thing is that their attack, though expected by quite a few powers, came out of left field and add in the rushing forward on armies still using cavalry units and the early massive land grab via Germany makes sense
