Episode notes
French Defensive Miscalculation
- The French built the Maginot Line as a static, fortified defense expecting trench warfare like WWI.
- They overlooked the Ardennes Forest, assuming it impenetrable and left it lightly defended.
British Soldiers’ Brothel Scramble
- British troops in French port towns frequently visited brothels during the Phony War.
- Prostitutes wiped their tun tuns with rags and threw them to soldiers, who scrambled for them like rugby fans for balls.
Blitzkrieg's Mechanized Advantage
- The German Blitzkrieg relied on mechanized warfare, fast-moving panzer divisions, and radios for communication.
- Their speed and coordination outclassed the French reliance on slow dispatch riders and static defense.
