may 10, 1940 - France is conqured by Germany

Description:

Germany uses its trucks and motorized weapons to perform a tactic called blitzkrieg. This included the quick transport of infantry across a large amount of land while using its air superiority. This led to a quick encirclement of French military and the British units on the western front. This led to the obliteration of the French main army and the British narrowly escaping on the coast. The french were then overpowered and conquered by Germany.
