The Phony War, also known as the "Sitzkrieg," refers to the period of relative inactivity on the Western Front following the outbreak of World War II in September 1939 until April 1940. During this time, despite the declaration of war between the Allies and Germany, there were few significant military operations. This phase ended with Germany's invasion of Denmark and Norway in April 1940, which marked a shift to more active combat operations. The term reflects the contrast between the ongoing war declaration and the lack of actual fighting on the front lines.
