German troops on the march through Poland

German Troops March into Warsaw Poland surrenders in 28 days. All that TALK had gotten the countries of Europe No Where At All. Chaos Ensues….

The European Theater

What to do? Britain and France declare they WILL have war with Germany if the Germans don’t withdraw Right NOW! (Who does this sound like?) Based on Germany’s experience with countries like Britain and France what do you think will happen? Germany does not withdraw. In fact, they ignore the British and refuse to answer them. Britain declares war on September 3rd, 1939. Unfortunately Britain and France are not ready to fight. They must raise, equip, train and position their armies. That takes time…..

And Then….. The Phony War: Not much happens between invasion of Poland (Sept 1939) and April 1940. Everyone wonders if Hitler has finally had enough cookies. France re-enforces the Maginot Line and some ships get sink in the Atlantic. Then…. Lightning Strikes again! Hitler and Mussolini- Just Good Friends

France Surrenders June, 1940

A Divided France “Vichy France becomes the lapdog of Hitler and Germany. They do what they are told. Henri Petain Leads the new Vichy government. He means to save as much of France as possible.

General Charles DeGaulle The French Resistance Neither Free nor actually in France, DeGaulle leads the Resistance (from England), making spies and saboteurs out of everyday Frenchmen and women. The citizens, still in France, smuggle in supplies from the Allies and disrupt the Germans whenever and wherever possible. The Free French General Charles DeGaulle What would we call a small group of people attacking an unpopular government and blowing things up with small home made weapons today? So, what makes these people different?
