Descripción del sitio
On may 10th 1940 the Germans began their Invasion on France. Since Britain and France had declared war on Germany following Germany's invasion of Poland, they had seen little to no fighting. This period is now known as the "Phoney War", this phoney war ended on may 10th, when Germany broke through Frances borders. Case yellow, the Germans called it, began with an armed invasion through the Ardennes forest to avoid the Maginot line. Four days into the invasion the Germans went accross the Meuse river (this was their official entrance into France). On may 20th the German army had trapped the British and they tried to evacuate to Dunkirk and England. It was on June 5th that the french resistance came to an end, however, they continued fighting rapidly. But the Italians had now sided with the Germans and by June 10th France had fallen.This link is a very interesting video about the miracle of Dunkirk. http://www.history.co.uk/explore-history/ww2/fall-of-france/video.html
