Saar Offensive

>>3008749
>Why did the French abandon the Saar Offensive?
Because it stood no chance in hell of succeeding as Germany was mobilizing rapidly and they hadn't even encountered the Sigfried line?

>Did they fear the black warrior?
No.

>>3008749
Because they are cowards that's why
they thought people would forget it

Reposting from /tg/:
Throughout the interwar period the French command had advocated a policy of offense alongside the Maginot line: the Maginot line would allow reservists to protect most of the border so that the standing army would attack through the low countries. But they didn't at Saar, for several reasons.
a) French intelligence greatly overestimated the amount of divisions Germany had available. In 1939 most of the BEF had yet to be assembled, and Germany was more populous than France. Gamelin's cautiousness is particularly stark compared to his pugnaciousness in 1938, where he advised that France and Britain immediately invade Germany to protect beleaguered Czechoslovakia (back when estimates on German power were more accurate). At that time he was only stopped by Britain's refusal to assist.
This was compounded by the fact that
b) in 1928, the French National Government reduced the conscription period to one-year. Most of France's high command believed that this was nowhere enough. Whether this was justified or not (Germany's conscripts performed fine), the French high command had no faith on the vast majority of its army. The Maginot reflects this conviction; it was meant to supplement the supposedly ill-trained conscripts such that war could be limited to the chokepoint of the low countries.
From Gamelin's view, France was pushing into Germany with a small portion of its full army with no BEF assistance against what they believed was a much larger Army. Combine this with the eerie lack of German response, and ultimately Gamelin came to believe that he would be sending France's only competent military force into a trap in which he would be encircled by a massively larger German Force. It was basically the Empty City Stratagem of the Chinese Thirty-Six Stratagems, and it worked perfectly for the Germans.

tl;dr circumstances leading up to the war made the French Command susceptible to a fake-out.

Are you sure you linked to the right one? I read through this, because I was interested oin the Saar offensive (or lack thereof) but outside of two short statements, one about supply issues, it doesn't talk about Saar at all. It's primarily about Gamelin himself and his reactions to German moves in the invasion of Poland. It's quite good for what it is, but it's not really about the Saar offensive.

>>3013219
Yeah that's not the right one,
>https://www.jstor.org/stable/2639904
doesn't directly mention the Saar offensive either, but it details French Intelligence's continued overestimation of German capabilities both in Hitler's buildup of power and when the war began.

The Gamelin and Poland pdf largely emphasizes the degree of overinflation that French estimates of German power was going through.
>On October 23rd 1939, the French Intelligence agency, the Deuxième Bureau, estimated 70 German divisions on the western front.
>The next day, this was inexplicably increased by twenty to a total of 90 divisions.
>Five days later, on the 29th, reports circulated reinforcing the picture of 90 German divisions, this time supported by 76 more in the rear. 27
>By January 1940, Maurice Gamelin informed his government that the Germans had 135 divisions at the ready, soon to become 200.
>By mid-April, Gamelin increased this figure to 205. 28 On September 1st 1939, Lt. Col. MauriceHenri Gauché, head of the Deuxième Bureau, estimated German strength at 150 divisions and predicted this was only half of Germany’s potential.
