Not much. Sat around mostly, drinking beer and playing the Accordion. You probably want to ask about the Blitzkrieg(Lightning War), where Germany engaged in sudden, massive attacks, making considerable use of tanks, bombers, and (later) unmanned planes (V1) and rockets (V2).

Can you put D-day Anschluss sitzkrieg and Guadalcanal in chronological order?

When was the Phony War - sitzkrieg?

September 1939 to April 1940


What is sitzkrieg and what does it tell us about respectively french and English mentality and war preparedness in 1939?

Sitzkrieg is a German term for what the English would call "the phoney war". It refers to the time between the invasion of Poland and the invasion of Denmark and Norway, when very little combat occured, even though Germany was at war with the allies. The french attempted some small actions into Germany, but nothing decisive. In September, with most of her forces occupied in Poland, Germany would have a very exposed western front. Therefore, the allies would have a great opportunity to launch an offensive then and end the war early. But they didn't. I suppose you could make a case of low readiness and defensive posture.


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.
