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.

During the eight months of the Sitzkrieg Germany?

The story of the Sitzkreig or rather the Phony war is strange. The Brits and French had delcared war on Germany yet they did nothing to help Poland who had their country invaded, even after the Brits and French said they would help them. It was a long period of inactivity until the period of September 1, 1939 to the beginning of May 1940 ended. The Germans chose to go into France, Belgium, The Netherlands and Denmark and I think Luxembourg. This escalated the war from that point on. See link below I included for your interest.
