Strengths: they had very good armor. Their tanks were well armored and armed. They had the Maginot line. Their airplanes were decent. Weaknesses: They had prepared to re-fight WWI all over again. In addition to this, they continued to disperse their armor, instead of centralizing it. And the intangible of lack of morale. The French simply did not have the fight in them until it was to late.

What is the world war 2 french fighter plane?

Dewoitine D.520 The Dewoitine D.520 was slower than the Messerschmitt Bf.109E but clearly superior in manoeuvrability. A comparison was made on April 21, 1940, with an intact Bf.109E-3 that had been brought down in French territory. This comparison highlighted the fine qualities of the best French fighter of World War 11. Had France not surrendered in June 1940, the Dewoitine D.520's career might have been comparable to that of British and German fighters. Of the 775 D.520s built during the war, only 36 were on front-line duty on May 10, 1940, too few to have a significant effect.

What was important about the Maginot Line?

That was a series of linked fortifications built by the French along their border with Germany after the First World War to defend against another German attack. But they did not take it all the way to the sea. They decided that sense Belgium and Holland were neutral, the Germans would not invade them in order to get to France, even though the Germans had done precisely that in the first war. Naturally, that was precisely what the Germans did in the second war as well.Michael Montagne

Why did maginot line fail?

This is one of those questions that has no definitive answer. It really depends on what you count as a success. When war broke out on mainland Europe, and the Germans made a major thrust to the west, the Maginot Line was not completed by France to the whole length to which they had originally designed it. As a consequence, the Germans were forced to take a more difficult but evidently not impossible route to try and outflank it. So, in that sense, it was a success. It forced the Axis forces onto another possibly quite risky route. If the whole line had been completed to the original plans, who can say what the outcome might have been? At the least it may have held up the advance into France by several months. Who knows what outcome that may have had. If the Russians had noticed that the Germans were becoming enmired in another WW1 scenario, would they have kept up their non-aggression pact for as long as they did? On the other hand, it may be argued that if France had not literally sunk so much of their materiel in the ground, and instead built up mobile anti-tank, and anti-aircraft capabilities then they might have halted the German advances more effectively? As with so much of what we know of past military blunders, the French strategic planners were surely guilty of the sin of 'preparing for the last war'. They assumed that any major outbreak of conflict on mainland Europe would be similar to WW1 where huge static battles would be fought over a quite limited, static front. What they had not noticed was that the enhanced mobility of fighting forces would render that model obsolete.
