The Germans did not actually break through the Maginot Line; instead, they bypassed it during World War II. The Maginot Line was a defensive fortification built by France along its eastern border to deter German invasion. However, in May 1940, the German military executed a rapid invasion through the Ardennes Forest, which was less fortified, allowing them to encircle French forces and render the Maginot Line ineffective. This tactical maneuver ultimately led to the swift defeat of France.

The Germans showed the world how powerful they really were.In World War II war didn't just break out for Germany, they we're very prepared for war. The Germans had built their military back up to global superpower standards. The Germans took Poland for its resources so they could supply their war. Then the rest of Europe was taken over and Germany then again had resources to fuel the war. The Germans didn't need just Iron, they also needed fuel, so the war for the Middle East and North Africa started between Germany and Britain. The Germans had a good plan and dominated Europe but they bit off more than they could chew too quickly. If Germany would have waited to invade the Soviet Union I'm almost positive Germany would have won the war and be the Superpower of the world today.
