The Fall of France May 10, 1940 Maginot Line France learned from WWI The Battle of France was riddled with daring operations from both sides, but ultimately Germany’s organization led to Axis victory and the fall of France. First off, this is a map of Europe *giggle*. Obviously, this is Germany, and this is Poland, who they took over in 1939. And this is France! The country which led Winston Churchill to say, in response to the rise of the Nazis, “Thank God for the French Army.” This apparently did not get across to the Big Guy, as they were defeated by Hitler in an astonishing SIX WEEKS

Timeline May 10, 1940 -- Air & ground attacks on Belgium Complicated Allies May 13, 1940 -- Panzers arrived on the River Meuse, crossing it in 2 days May 14, 1940 -- Dutch surrender, German psychological advantage May 26 - June 4, 1940 -- Operation Dynamo June 5, 1940 -- Case Red June 22, 1940 -- French surrender Race to the coast, Germans won on May 20

German Plan General Erich von Manstein Go through Belgium and Ardennes Blitzkrieg Had 2500 tanks against Allied 3500 Used Panzer formations that concentrated the force Disorientate, then attack http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/worldwars/wwtwo/fall_france_01.shtml http://www.jstor.org/stable/1982991?Search=yes&resultItemClick=true&searchText=the&searchText=fall&searchText=of&searchText=france&searchUri=%2Faction%2FdoBasicSearch%3Fso%3Drel%26amp%3Bhp%3D25%26amp%3Bwc%3Don%26amp%3Bprq%3Doperation%2Bdynamo%26amp%3Bfc%3Doff%26amp%3BQuery%3Dthe%2Bfall%2Bof%2Bfrance%26amp%3Bacc%3Doff&seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents

Case Yellow/ Fall Gelb (May 10 -- June 25, 1940) During the Battle of France there was two sides: British forces (in France) German artillery forces The Germans wanted to use their tanks to push through the French enemy lines guarded by the British Forces The French did not believe the Germans would be able to break through their defenses VS

DUN DUN DUN. It’s the German tanks The Germans pushed through a forested area of France , called the Ardennes, wreaking havoc with their heavy infantry. The continue to push through past the Somme valley and eventually surrounding the Allied forces pushing them into a corner. Finally they have to stop to repair and allow supplies to catch up, this gives time for the French and British Forces to plan an escape from this chaos. Somme in Celtic actually means “tranquility” , ironic right?

Operation Dynamo The evacuation of Dunkirk (codenamed Operation Dynamo) was the evacuation of British and French soldiers upon realizing that the Battle of France was a loss. The evacuation took place between May 26 and June 4, 1940 and rescued 338,226 soldiers. Although the operation saved hundreds of thousands of soldiers, a great deal of heavy equipment was left behind.

Operation Dynamo (map)

Operation Dynamo (continued) Due to the enormous number of troops being evacuated, there was tension and a sense of urgency. Officers would be known to use small arms to control panicking troops, and the oars of the small boats, that were used to get the troops to the larger ships, were often used to beat back the people who were trying to force their way onto the boats

Operation Dynamo (continued) Luckily for the British Expeditionary force (BEF), the often treacherous waters of the english channel were calm for most of the evacuation Originally, the ships would evacuate troops at both day and night, but after the Luftwaffe attack on June 1st (in which a passenger liner and three destroyers were sunk causing a severe loss of life) the evacuation only took place during night in the veil of darkness

Case Red The French had lost a lot of soldiers in Case Yellow/Fall Gelb Battle of Abbeville takes place to save troops at Dunkirk The Germans attacked Paris, a long hard struggle but the Germans won, the French declare Paris an open city Maginot line like Paris but they can not escape Second BEF evacuation as the British pullout more troops

Battle Map

Impacts Disrupted balance of power in Europe Britain abandoned the Western Front Divided France North and West under German control Gave Germans confidence in blitzkrieg Used heavily in Russia, and failed The specific cause of French defeat is complex. It lies in low morale and a divided nation, shaken by rigorous German military tactics.
