User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

France surrendered to Nazi Germany in World War II on June 22, 1940, following the German invasion and occupation of the country. The surrender took place in Compiègne, the same location where Germany had surrendered to the Allies in World War I. The French government, under Marshal Philippe Pétain, signed an armistice with Germany, which divided France into occupied and unoccupied zones.

What did Germany do to make the Maginot line useless?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Germany executed a strategic military maneuver called the Manstein Plan. Instead of attacking the heavily fortified Maginot Line directly, Germany launched a surprise invasion through the Ardennes forest, which was considered to be an impenetrable natural barrier. This unexpected approach caught the French off guard, allowing the German forces to bypass the Maginot Line and rapidly advance into France.

How much is the french maroc 1370 5 franc worth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You are asking about a 20 Franc coin from Morocco (Y#50). It is made of aluminum-bronze and measures 23.8mm in diameter. The front has a five-pointed star, with designes and Arabic writing surrounding it, and the date "1371" below it (the date refers to the Muslim calendar - it corresponds to 1952 AD). The back has the denomination - "20 FRANCS" - in the center, with "MAROC" (French for "Morocco") above. There are also Arabic words below both the country and denomination - I presume that these are simply the Arabic translations, but I am not positive. It was aone-year type (that is, this design was only produced in the year 1371 AH) issued under the reign of King Mohammed V. 20,000,000 of such coins were produced, all by the Paris mint.

According to the Standard Catalog of World Coins, and example is worth US$0.25 in Fine condition, US$0.50 in Very Fine condition, US$1.00 in Extremely Fine condition, and US$4.00 in Uncirculated condition.

What was the worst beach on d-day?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Omaha Beach was the worst because of the terrain. Immediately back of the beach were high bluffs on which the defenders were situated in pillboxes and other fortifications, overlooking the beach. Assaulting troops had to make an amphibious landing, which is difficult even when the enemy is not present, and immediately attack high ground, which is also difficult. And the direction of their attack was completely predictable - they would be coming from the direction of the sea. The other beaches had more typical coastal terrain, with low land being immediately behind the beaches. The terrain at Omaha was the worst from the attackers point of view along the entire fifty miles of the assault area, and this was recognized before hand, but the planners could find no alternative.
