The Maginot Line didn't work in the spring of 1940...Actually, from what I've read it worked perfectly for its intended purpose— stopping the Germans from crossing the border directly, forcing them to take a circuitous route through north Belgium or a slow and difficult route through the Ardennes. They went through the Ardennes but managed to trick the Allies into thinking they wouldn't dare— had the Allies reacted earlier, the Germans wouldn't have made it to the French border. |
