The Ardennes Forest (the s is silent) the ONLY open space in the Maginot Line where the French did not think Hitler would cut a path to France by marching through the forest.

What occured on the maginot line during World War 2?

It was incomplete. The Germans made some feint attacks, but it was outflanked by the Panzer advance through the Ardennes & was effectively useless as a defensive line.


What were some important facts about the French defense as World War 2 began?

One thing to you MUST understand about the French is that were not the weak fools we make them out to be. They had learned a valuable lesson from German aggression of the First World War. The French developed the Maginot Line in the late 1920's to defend against any future aggression by the Germans. It built strong defenses in the locations where Germany attacked from World War One, and had weaker defenses along the Franco-Belgian border. Unfortunately for the French, the Germans had also learned important lessons from their first go around invading France. Instead of invading through the Maginot Line and getting bogged down in heavy combat, they cut through the Ardennes, completely by passing the major French defenses. This allowed the Germans to successfully invade France. So while the French were defeated quickly by the Germans, they were prepared to put up a fight, just not in the right place.


Where did the Maginot Line extend from?

AnswerFrance. The Maginot Line (in use from 1932 to 1969) was a barrier in northern France, that was built to hold off (mainly) the German Army in case of attack. (EVERY country feared the German Army) It basically surrounded France from the rest of Europe - but had MANY, MANY faults. For starters - the Lufuwaffe simply flew over it!!! And the supply line was so poor - many of the installations simply ran out of ammunition!!! Although the fortifications of the Maginot line were based on very outdated World War I fortifications - some did hold the attacking German Army - but only for a few days.


What is the Maginot line was it successful where is it?

A line of French fortifications along the French side of the France/Germany border. It was basically intended as a super trench to block any German invasion as soon as it began. It was built between the end of WW1 and the beginning of WW2 at enormous expense to the French. It was completely unsuccessful in WW2 as Germany simply went around it by sending tanks and infantry through Belgium and Holland to the north and flying planes full of paratroops and bomber planes directly over it. It still is where it was, but all the armaments are removed, some sections are museums.
