During the years leading up to World War II, the French and many others in western European nations believed that the area south of Flanders and north of the famous Maginot Line was impenetrable to offensive action by modern armies. Because of this belief, the "Ardennes Forest," which comprised most of this area, was only lightly defended when the Germans attacked it in 1940.
