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.

The German army broke through Belgium, (like they have already done in 1914) and through the Ardennes forest which was considered as a mountain by the french headquarter, thinking it was a natural obstacle.
