The invasion and devastation of the Western front commences...after it, follows the ultimate in tyranny and best of England comes out!

The Maginot Line was a stupid idea. Appeasing apparent aggression is NEVER a good idea. We haven't learned, unfortunately!

In retrospect, The Maginot Line was not a good idea, I think. The usefulness of fixed fortifications in European warfare had been in slow decline since the 15th century, when effective artillery began to be developed.

Thanks for the reminder, Sam.
