80 years ago, in May 1940, the German army launched its offensive. It bypasses the Maginot line and enters France through the Ardennes. The French army is exceeded, it is the debacle. This defense system, which bears the name of André Maginot, the Minister of War who launched this project and which departs from the shores of the Mediterranean to the Belgian border, becomes the symbol of French defeat. France 24 tells you its story.
