AIght, the phony war was weird. We all declared war on Germany but there was no fighting or anything. Poland was taken over. Everyone is just mobilizing and winter is making everyone like eh, why start now? So they waited for spring. The fake war is over and Germany goes offensive again, this time north towards denmark.  He doesn't go any farther right away due to an ocean being in the way, but soon they had an amphibious invasion.  Germany looked at France's Maginot Line and was like eh. we could own that but we'll just take a detour through Belgium. May June 1940 They go through Belgium and take over France really easily, as their first assault was on the white flag factory, disabling their war effort.  Hitler was like Hey, Gimme Europe and y'all will be saved and we called bull and kept the war going. Lots of people evacuated to great britain. By late June France was in total complete control of Germany.  The Maginot Line was surrounded but not yet assaulted.  Hitler really wanted revenge for something Bruns is talking about . . . he sent a railroad car to someone for a museum or something? and it was a great day for him? I have NO idea what you are talkin about Mr B.  Hitler allowed the Vichi government to keep control of southern France. Led by Marshal Henri Petain ran it on Hitler's orders, and they rounded up a lot of French Jews.  Charles de Gaulle ran the Free French Underground. He was our ally in WWII. THeir goal was to free France.
