@history_clips45: The Battle of France in 1940 was a military campaign in which German forces rapidly advanced through Western Europe, moving through Belgium, Luxembourg, and northern France. By exploiting unexpected routes like the Ardennes region, they bypassed strong Allied defenses and quickly reached the English Channel. This led to a massive evacuation at Dunkirk, where thousands of British and French soldiers were rescued. Soon after, Paris was captured, and an armistice was signed that divided the country into different administrative zones. It marked a major turning point in the European conflict. #ww2 #ww2history #worldwar2history #ww2footage #ww2edits #worldwartwo #military #fyp #france #ardennes #westernfron #dunkerque #dunkirk
