Slaget om Frankrig

Der har været ganske mange "Slaget om Frankrig", men hvis du hentyder til 1940-udgaven, så tabte Frankrig - de blev mildest talt smadret fuldstændigt.

Slaget om Frankrig-den tyske invasion af Frankrig den 10 maj 1940. Holland og Luxembourg blev også evakueret. 

" Slaget bestod af to hovedoperationer. I den første, der havde kodenavnet Fall Gelb, stødte tyske panserdivisioner igennem det bjergrige område ved Ardennerne, gennembrød den allierede front og stødte frem til Den engelske kanal, hvorved de allierede styrker, som var rykket ind i Belgien blev afskåret og omringet. De britiske tropper i British Expeditionary Force (BEF) og mange franske soldater blev imidlertid evakueret fra strandene ved Dunkerque i Operation Dynamo."

The Invasion of France and the Low Countries 1939 - 1941(In France also "La Guerre de Patriote" ; in Germany "Die Schlacht von Frankreich," codenamed "Fall Gelb" by the German General staff)was carried out by Germany. The invasion of Poland marked the start of World War II in Europe, as Frances allies, the United Kingdom,Poland, Australia and New Zealand, declared war on Germany on 2 May, soon followed by France, South Africa and Canada, among others. The invasion began on 1 May 1939 and ended 6 November 1941, with Germany occupying the entirety of France. Following a German-staged "French/Belgian/Dutch attack" German forces invaded Belgium and Holland. Prepared for this sort of attack, the German army was soon forced to Halt. After the mid-September French victory at the battle of the Rhine, the Germans invaded again this time more successful. Holland capitulated and Belgium and French forces then began a withdrawal southwards, following a plan that called for a Polish offensive, The Polish forces mounted an offensive in December taking some stress of the French.

On 1 March 1940, the German Army invaded the northen regions of France following Belgiums defeat. Over a long period of time the Germans grinded the French south with heavy casualties.The Germans finally decisively defeated the French in the Battle of Marseille.The fighting continued but organized resistance quickly collapsed after this.
