Battle of France, (May 10–June 25, 1940), during World War II, the German invasion of the Low Countries and France. In just over six weeks, German armed forces overran Belgium and the Netherlands, drove the British Expeditionary Force from the Continent, captured Paris, and forced the surrender of the French government. HistoryAtWar-Source. Very fast warfare event in Europe by Germany?

French Surrender To Hitler (1940) French surrender to Hitler. Compiegne, France. L/S Marshall Petain climbing out of car and being greeted by German military officials. That rail car in the video is the same rail car which Germany signed ending WWI. NOTE: Video has no audio. Do you like historical images from the time?

The Italian invasion of France (10–25 June 1940), also called the Battle of the Alps, was the first major Italian engagement of World War II . Italy, under Mussolini, declared war on France and Britain on June 10, 1940, while France was already on the verge of collapse due to the German offensive. The Italian invasion, though limited in scope and success, was Italy's first major engagement of the war and the last major event of the larger Battle of France. Seems like a waste of warfare by Italy since Germany did the bulk of the invasion of France?
