Germany did not directly break through the Maginot Line; instead, they circumvented it during World War II. The German military executed a rapid invasion through the Ardennes Forest, a region that the French believed was too difficult for large-scale armored forces to traverse. This maneuver allowed German troops to bypass the heavily fortified Maginot Line, leading to a swift advance into France and ultimately resulting in the fall of Paris in June 1940. The French reliance on static defenses like the Maginot Line proved inadequate against the mobile warfare tactics employed by the Germans.
