The Maginot Line
- Want Germans to be crippled
- Want reparation money - Want a defensive position against Germany - Build fortifications along the French/German border - Leads them into a false sense of security "We could hardly dream of building a kind of Great Wall of France, which would in any case be far too costly. Instead we have foreseen powerful but flexible means of organizing defense, based on the dual principle of taking full advantage of the terrain and establishing a continuous line of fire everywhere."
- Andres Maginot What if the Maginot Line had been completed by the time Germany invaded? |
Andre Maginot, French Minister of War, made a line of forts across France. Makes france think they are safe, turns out they were not.
