Battle of France (The War That Came Early)

The Battle of France began two weeks before Christmas in 1938 one month after the defeat of Czechoslovakia. The German army launched an attack into the Netherlands, through Belgium and Luxembourg, defeating those countries before the end of the year.

As 1939 began, the Germans thrust through the Ardennes region and into France, wheeling north of the city of Paris but due to over stretching their own logistics, the Germans were defeated by an Allied counter attack, saving France.
