The irony is that the French surrendering so quickly may very well have saved all of Europe from going “Bolshevik”.
I just finished reading “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich”. When Hitler moved in to Czechoslovakia, he had five division facing France’s 100 + divisions. If France had reacted to Hitler’s violations of the agreements and invaded Germany, Shirer contends that the Nazi government and Hitler would have fallen.
How did the fall of France save Europe from going Bolshevik?
