Question 1 0 Sept 1939: Hitler launched a surprise attack on Poland. 0 Using fast moving airplanes & tanks and massive infantry, Hitler attempted to crush the opposition with overwhelming force. 0 This strategy is known as blitzkrieg, or lightning war.

Question 2 0 Shortly after the start of Hitler’s invasion, Britain & France declared war on Germany. 0 However, Poland fell before either country was able to muster a military response. 0 France & Britain prepared for a war, mobilizing their troops and set up at the Maginot Line (a system of defenses along the French/German border.)

Question 4 0 In May of 1940, Hitler swept through Holland, Belgium, & Luxembourg. 0 Hitler then traveled through the Ardennes forest, bypassing the Maginot Line. 0 The Germans quickly reached France’s northern coast, then continued north, meeting up with German troops in Belgium. 0 The British and French troops were surrounded. They fled to Dunkirk.
