may 10, 1940 - German Invasion of France
Description:
A few months earlier, France and Britain declared war on Germany because of the Battle of Atlantic. Knowing that the Germans would get rid of their enemies, the Allies begin to prepare by mobilizing troops, building the Maginot line (defense line), and blockading the sea. By the time of the invasion, Germany uses Blitzkrieg again and with the Allies unaware of this technique, they get knocked down.
