While the so-called phony war in Western Europe lingered, Germany's invasion of Poland in 1939 set Germany in a good position in the soon to come war in France. That's because it allowed Germany to perfect it's "blitzkrieg". What the invasion did was to uncover defects in that "blitzkrieg' and therefore make them ready for Western Europe in 1940.
