What is sitzkrieg and what does it tell us about respectively french and English mentality and war preparedness in 1939?
Sitzkrieg is a German term for what the English would call "the phoney war". It refers to the time between the invasion of Poland and the invasion of Denmark and Norway, when very little combat occured, even though Germany was at war with the allies. The french attempted some small actions into Germany, but nothing decisive. In September, with most of her forces occupied in Poland, Germany would have a very exposed western front. Therefore, the allies would have a great opportunity to launch an offensive then and end the war early. But they didn't. I suppose you could make a case of low readiness and defensive posture.
What did germany do during the eight months of Sitzkrieg?
On the Western Front in the opening year of World War II, approximately eight months of "Phony War" (or, as the Germans called it, "sitzkrieg") passed before any serious fighting took place. In that time, the Germans were planning to invade but continually called off their plans due to weather or other complications. They were also raising new formations, training old formations, dropping leaflets on enemy positions, working out their strategy against other possible enemies, and all the while building up their strength for what they hoped would be a quick, decisive victory against France.
What did Germany do during the sitzkrieg?
Not much. Sat around mostly, drinking beer and playing the accordion. You probably want to ask about the Blitzkrieg(Lightning War), where Germany engaged in sudden, massive attacks, making considerable use of tanks, bombers, and (later) unmanned planes (V1) and rockets (V2).
