Synopsis
The shocking, virtually instantaneous collapse of French forces in the spring of 1940 was one of the most dramatic turning points, not just in the course of World War II, but in the entire 20th century. France's defeat opened the way to four years of Nazi occupation in Western Europe and made possible the escalation of Hitler's genocidal war in the East.
