December SEC Event The Battle of FranceHistoryThe Second World War began with the end of the Phony War. The German invasion in western Europe was now known as the Battle of France.
The German invasion of France and the Low countries was unprovoked and part of a sinister plan headed up by Adolf Hitler. The German Blitzkreg
tactics so overwhelmed the French and British commands that the end of the campaign came quickly. The Armee' de l'Air and the RAF were out
numbered and out gunned as the Luftwaffe pummeled the aerial resistance. The Luftwaffe possessed almost twice as many aircraft and certainly
the more modern air force.
By the time of Operation Dynamo otherwise known as the Dunkirk evacuation, the aerial resistance to the Luftwaffe and Wehrmacht was almost
none existent. By mid June French General Weygand in charge of French ground forces, was known to have said "The battle of France is over.
The battle of Britain is about to begin. Thus ending the Battle of France.
