France thought that there was a lesson from WW1 : avoid trench warfare, build a powerful defence line. So the country built a series of fortifications all along the German border. All the way from the Swiss to the Belgian end of that border…
Once safely tugged behind that line that looked impassable by the possible enemy, France had an ambitious diplomatic policy : guarantee the territorial integrity of both Poland and Czechoslovakia. Ever since Descartes and the 17th century France has been a paragon of logic : define your problem and work out the solution. The potential threat may come from Germany, build your defences accordingly. Belgium and Switzerland are neutral countries, no need for protection along their border. Right ?
Sadly Hitler didn’t read Descartes nor did he have much respect for the legal niceties concerning neutral countries. His panzers went through the Ardennes forest of Belgium, crossed the Meuse river and France collapsed in a couple of weeks.
