germans are from germany not france
The idea was the the Marginol line would stop the Germans. The Germans counted on the French not leaving their positions along the line, so the Germans came across the Ardennes with tanks and crossed the Meuse River into France.
The Maginot Line was a line of fortifications built by France as a defensive measure against any German invasions. It was judged to be the most formidable defense line in the world. Despite this, the German war machine was not hampered by this elaborate defensive system. France was quickly conquered.
During WWII, the demarcation line (or green line, as it was drawed in green on the map), was the limit between the northern and western part of France, occupied by German troops, and the "free zone" which was not occupied. The demarcation line disappeared in Nov. 1942 when the Germans decided to occupy all of France.
The Allies Bypassed the Atlantic to confront the Germans directly in Eourpe
At the 5th century Germans conquered France. Germans are the oldest population.
The Germans simply out-flanked the Maginot Line by invading France through Belgium.
France. This was a "false" line that was mistaken for a secure means to keep the Germans at arms length.
In 1940, British soldiers were in France to try and stop the Germans invading. In 1944 they were in France to beat the Germans back.
Hmm. Not sure if this is what you mean. The Maginot Line was the defensive line of forts and bunkers that France built along its border with Germany after WW1. France thought Maginot Line would protect them from another invasion by Germany. However, the Germans simple attacked through Belgium and went around the forts.
