jun 22, 1940 - Fall of France To Germany

Description:

Germany swiftly invaded France using blitzkrieg, bypassing the heavily fortified Maginot Line. Paris fell in June 1940, and France was divided, with northern France under German occupation and southern France ruled by the puppet Vichy government. This victory left Britain as the only major Allied power fighting Germany in Western Europe.
