Errmmmm don't think anyone is offended by the word blitz, or ever has been. It's a pretty common term over here (UK) to describe a period of intense activity of any kind. Everyone from soldiers to school teachers use it.

e.g we need to blitz the sink - we need to clean it thoroughly and/or quickly.
