And the real reason France fell was airpower. The Germans had massive superiority coupled with hordes of ground attack aircraft. Britain didn't commit enough aircraft initially (or troops either) and the French air force didn't have the gear to compete.
If there was parity in air power, you can bet Rommel wouldn't have charged off to the channel like cavalry subaltern, and if he had he would have been surrounded and annihilated. |
