	Battle of France - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		France was divided into a German occupation zone in the north and west, a small Italian occupation zone in the southeast and a collaborationist government in the south, Vichy France.
		France formally surrendered to the German armed forces on 25 June in the same railroad car at Compiègne that Germany in 1918 had been forced to surrender in.
		France was divided into a German occupation zone in the north and west and a nominally independent state in the south, to be based in the spa town of Vichy, dubbed Vichy France.

	Fall of France 1940 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		This split of the common Frenchman and the apathy of the entire country were key factors to the failure of the war to come.
		At the time France entered the war, the French Army had 30 infantry divisions (14 in North Africa, 9 on the Alpine front, 7 on the Western Front, and a few mountain troops on the Spanish frontier).
		This Line was created to counterbalance France's inferior military in the event of armed conflict with Germany.

	Armistice with France (Second Compiègne) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Following the decisive German victory in the Battle of France (10 May - 21 June 1940), it established a German occupation zone in Northern France that encompassed all English Channel and Atlantic Ocean ports and left the remainder "free" to be governed by the French.
		In the very same railway carriage in which the 1918 Armistice was signed (removed from a museum building and placed on the precise spot where it was located in 1918), Hitler sat in the same chair that Marshal Ferdinand Foch had sat in when he faced the defeated German representatives.
		The unoccupied third of France was ostensibly left free to be governed by the French, until a final peace treaty would be negotiated, and was eventually occupied by Germany in 1942 in Case Anton.

		France had 16 of these series “B” divisions, and historically many but not all of them performed very poorly.
		That effectively knocked France out of the war, though the French continued to fight for another few weeks, and actually fought rather well most of that time.
		Until the French solidify their lines in Belgium, France has the bulk of its best and most mobile troops tied up in the move into Belgium.

	The fall of France - World Affairs Board
		France was a core part of Europe when the Union had only six members and reflected the primary goal of Franco-German reconciliation.
		France remains a major European country: it is a founder of the Union, one of the world’s richest nations, and holds a permanent seat on the UN Security Council.
		Moreover, France needs to avoid the temptation to overcompensate for the diminishing role of the Franco-German tandem, which may no longer be sufficient to power the Union, but nonetheless remains necessary.

	H-France Reviews
		That the Liberation of France was a pivotal event of manifold dimensions--as editors H. Kedward and Nancy Wood (both from the University of Sussex) say in the introduction--is undoubtedly true, though so also was the fall of France four years earlier.
		France was liberated by the western Allies as had been expected by the French themselves well before the summer of 1944.
		French West African soldiers who fought in the battles for the Liberation of France were rounded up in camps in France pending their repatriation to Africa, and because of the "whitening" of the French army in 1944-45 could not take part in the victory marches and celebrations.

	The Fall of France, 1939 - 1940
		German forces sit on the western front next, and France expects a blow to come from the southeast side of their country so as to not violate Belgian Neutrality.
		Within a matter of a week, German forces cut a swatch twenty miles wide across France with tank forces, and the retreating French armies are constantly harassed from the sky by dive bombers.
		40 of these bombers fall in combat to the Luftwaffe, and by May 28, the Belgium has surrendered and the entirety of France is in peril.

	Facts in Review (7/22/1940)
		From France, Italy demands only demilitarisation of a zone extending 50 kilometers beyond the Italians' most advanced line on the French-Italian front; the demilitarisation of naval bases in the Mediterranean; harbor and railway facilities near Italian colonial possessions; and in localities situated elsewhere, the demilitarisation of a limited zone of French possessions.
		France has a chance to show her good will in 1940; such a chance was denied to Germany in 1918-19.
		France, if she had been victorious, would have imposed armistice and peace terms on Germany which would have left precious little of the Reich intact.

		Jackson's approach is to separate various elements of the fall of the Third Republic.
		In truth, this is not primarily a military history, though there is sufficient commentary on France's military structure, deployments, assessments and activities to engage the military historian.

		The principles of civilization are systematically poisoned with superstitious beliefs that lead to destruction: an ideology of antagonism, beliefs of entitlement, economical illiteracy, banishment of reason, worship of the Leviathan.

	The Belmont Club: Once in France
		France has brewed this cauldron all by itself, and it is a potion made of social 'welfare' and protection from opportunity.
		The synthesis of the two is that while Muslim immigrants in France, beyond the influence of fundamentalist Islam, have heretofore been divided by sectarian interests, the perpetual violence across France has provided them with a foundation for collective experience; the manning of the barricades, camaraderie and the spirit of revolution.
		France is the Sickest Man in Europe - but she is by far not the only ill patient in the region.

		The occupation of France was a strategic step forward for Donitz, who had moved his HQ to Paris and assumed personal command of the Atlantic operations.
		The second strategic advantage on the fall of France was that Britain itself was open to invasion fears.
		The second was the shortage of boats and last was the lack of suitable bases for which to exercise the close tactical control necessary for the co-ordination of the attack.

		Fall is also the time when I start to wonder if I'll ever have heat in the apartment again - the heat is included in the rent, but as it's steam heat, the building is subject to the whims of the caretaker as to when it is turned on and off each year.
