The French never surrendered in WW1, they even were the main force against Germany, and 1 500 000 French soldiers died in WW1, more than any victorious nation of WW1.
In WW2, 200 000 French soldiers died defending France, but they were betrayed by the British army which retreated to the UK instead of helping the French protect Paris, and Pétain, President of France, surrendered to Hitler. He is considered a traitor in France.
What did Germany do to make the Maginot line useless?
The Maginot line had been built along The Rhin river. The German army broke through Belgium, (like they have already done in 1914) and through the Ardennes forest which was considered as a mountain by the french headquarter, thinking it was a natural obstacle. But it was just a hill causing no problem to German armours.
The French were easily beaten because the Army and its leaders were incompetent compared to the disiplined and well-equipped Germans.

How much is the french maroc 1370 5 franc worth?
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.

What was the worst beach on d-day?
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.
