also the frenchies wanted to extend the maginot to the channel, but they isn't have the money (Great Depression anyone?) and the Belgians weren't too happy about such a proposal

didn't

>the Belgians weren't too happy about such a proposal

>getting cuckolded by a literal noncountry you helped to create

lmao

that's next level cuckoldry

the french gov't should have forced the belgians to accept it or have permission by the french government to extent it INSIDE belgian borders.

>>69468298
Still, you must have some pretty shit logistics for it to happen.

The Belgians already had impressive fortifications on the German frontier. They just didn't plan for German paratroopers capturing the fortresses around Liege in the opening hours of war

>>69468357
Eh, it was intentional really

Mussolini said it himself

>The Belgians already had impressive fortifications on the German frontier.
You mean Eben Emael that was captured in one night by German paratroopers WITHOUT A SINGLE CASUALTY?

lmao great forts you got there lelgium

>>69468396
>implying maginot line extension to the Belgian-German frontier would have been any better
the Belgians wanted to stay neutral, and rejected French proposals of preemptive reinforcement along the Belgian-German frontier

>>69468423
it would have
the maginot was virtually undefeated in 1940
the saar offensive was still the best option for france to defeat germany in ww2

>>69468461
Did you even read my post? The Belgians would do anything to avoid provoking Germany and remain neutral at all costs, refusing all French proposals regarding placing troops on the Belgian-German border. With Belgian troops hardly prepared to put up resistance even Maginot fortifications wouldn't have been defended properly

>>69468506
The Netherlands cleared a path for German tanks in our south, where German troops could quickly get to Belgium while leaving us alone.

But for some reason the didn't pick up on the offer.

>Did you even read my post?
did you?
I know what the belgians wanted but france should not have cared about a tiny noncountry

France wasn't in the mood to bend noncountries to their will. They preferred to work with them, hence all the Little Entente projects and the Czech alliance. And anyway, the French didn't have the money to afford more fortifications, and had enough of their internal problems to deal with (Popular Front etc)
