what if France had invaded Germany just when Germany invaded Poland? in 1939?
War would have been over in few weeks, not 6-7 years. Wonder what was France thinking in September of 1939.
They had divisions lined up on Maginot line anyways. They squandered a very good chance. In September of 1939, France had 110 divisions on Franko-German border. Germans had 23. If all those 110 divisions were mobilised to enter Germany, history would be different. Hitler must have had balls of titanium to pull off this stunt. The sheer brazen audacity of it all is amazing. And the crazy bugger pulled it off.
By end of September, Poland was done and dusted. All armies back on a French border. Window for quick war over. Yeah well. Polish were brave and had no other choice.
British and French declared war on Germany promptly. But only on paper. Poles expected those 110 French Divisions to cross Maginot while they delay Germans
What they got was “kaDi nindā” of Germany from Brits and French.
