It took only six weeks for France to capitulate to the German invaders. A stunning defeat - particularly since before the war the French army was considered the most powerful in Europe. <span>France's vaunted Maginot Line failed to hold back the Nazi onslaught and the German Blitzkrieg poured into France.</span><span> </span><span>see Blizkrieg, 1940</span><span>Thousands of civilians fled before it. </span>
<span>Really not much more I can tell you hope this helped tho :) </span>
