Maginot line, ordinary people know that we can go around. Why don't the French think that the Germans will avoid it?

However, this is too big a problem. This is not a problem that ordinary people think of, nor is it a problem that French generals want. The purpose of setting up this maginot line is to let the Germans bypass maginot line. This maginot line became a joke because the French surrendered at the speed of light. If maginot line is really successful and effective, we can see how vicious the French are militarily. Although people surrendered quickly, don't forget that people have fought in Europe for hundreds of years, and their means are not weaker than other European countries. Like maginot line, it is a reflection of the ferocity of the French.

The French had a strong foresight about the war launched by the Germans later, that is, they knew that the Germans would retaliate against the attack, but they were helpless. At that time, the French were also very weak and unwilling to continue fighting. Even if they wanted to fight, they would minimize their losses. Maginot line, is moving towards this goal.

For example, World War II was only a short 20 years. In these 20 years, many countries have been busy rebuilding their economies and neglected many military affairs. At that time, the Germans studied armored clusters and blitzkrieg, while the French and the British were devastated and even the Soviet Union could not think of it. These countries still maintain a World War I mentality.

And maginot line, is established under this kind of thinking. During World War I, we fought in the trench and stayed in the trench for half a year, so bored that the warring parties could have a party. In people's eyes, the war at that time was a protracted war, which would last for two or three years, three or four years and a few months, with little change in the front.

France borders Germany, and once Germany attacks, it can directly rush into France from the south of France. If the Germans and the French fought a war of attrition on French territory according to the idea of World War I, then France would be in ruins and the losses would be very serious. What is the French playing? What would you do if the Germans were not allowed to attack France directly? Build a maginot line and use these iron walls to resist the German attack.

Just like the picture, blocking the German-French border prevents the Germans from attacking directly from the German-French border. So, what should Germany do if it wants to fight France? You have to make a detour. And this detour is the detour that the French forced the Germans to take. How do you make a detour? Holland and Belgium. Let the Germans attack from Holland and Belgium, so that the front will be abroad, which is the sinister place of the French army.

The influence of the front on a country is different at home and abroad. If you fight abroad, the loss may be like twenty or thirty, and if you fight at home, the loss will be eighty or ninety. Don't let the war burn to your home, this is the French biting, and the sacrifice, is the Netherlands and Belgium these two countries.

Generally speaking, the script is: the French army deployed a maginot line, forcing the Germans to attack around the Netherlands and Belgium. In this play, the Germans will pretend to attack maginot line, while the main force will bypass Holland and Belgium. On the French side, a few troops will be stationed in maginot line, while the main force will be stationed in northern France, or directly enter Belgium to defend the main force of the German army.

And this script, the Germans basically did the same when they made plans in the early stage. Moreover, Hald did the same when he put forward the first edition of the Yellow Plan. Moreover, as the French thought, he would fight a tug-of-war. From 1940 to 1942, he can only attack. This plan is exactly what legitimate people want, and that's what the French think. Hitler, on the other hand, explicitly opposed it and was quite angry with Hald.

France's defense itself is perfect. Through maginot line, the Germans were forced to attack the Netherlands and Belgium, and the main forces of Britain and France launched a long-term war of attrition in the Netherlands, Belgium and the Germans, but in the end the Germans could not afford to fight. France's defense plan was good, but an accident happened.

According to the idea of the French, plus the idea of the early Germans, they all attacked in two ways, but only two geniuses, manstein and guderian, didn't divide into two ways when making plans, and became divided into three ways. After being divided into three roads, the French were dumbfounded.

At that time, the French deployed their main forces on the border between France and Belgium, preparing to fight across the border, leaving hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in maginot line to resist the Germans. When the Germans attacked, Group C attacked maginot line head-on, and both the French and Germans knew it was a feint. Group B attacked the Netherlands and Belgium in the north and threatened France through the Netherlands and Belgium.

Army C attacked maginot line head-on, and Army B attacked Holland and Belgium, all of which were planned by the French. What the French really didn't expect was that the Germans didn't divide the soldiers into two ways, but divided them into three ways. In addition to army C and army B, there is also an army A, which is a real killer and really killed the French army.

German soldiers are divided into three ways. Group C is actually acting, while Group B is set up to attack the Netherlands and Belgium. In French eyes, this is a formal attack, but it is actually a feint. The role of Group B is to lure the British and French main forces to attack and transfer. After the transfer of France's main force, there was no one inside. At this time, Group A crossed the Ardennes forest, went straight into the hinterland of France, and appeared directly behind the French army. There is Ardennes Forest, and the French also visited it for a long time, thinking that the Germans couldn't cross Ardennes Forest, but guderian really came, and the troops here were empty and unarmed, so it was easy to pass.

Generally speaking, maginot line was in line with the environment at that time. Moreover, the French defense deployment itself is no problem, just a mistake and accident. This mistake and accident is the first world war in which manstein and guderian crossed the Ardennes forest and guderian crossed the Ardennes forest twice. Experience is their idea, and no one wants to get this route except them. From the time they started to split up, they became a three-way division. Surprisingly, Germany won completely.

To sum up, maginot line is not trying to completely resist the German defense on this line of defense. Maginot line is only a part of the French defence, and this defence is not the whole of the French defence. When the French set up the defense line, there was a mistake, and some people took advantage of it.
