Swift Wwii WWII: Why was the fall of France so swift? Did this make sense militarily?
As June began, the situation in France was bleak for the Allies. With the evacuation of the BEF, the French Army and remaining British troops were left to defend a long front from the Channel to Sedan with minimal forces and no reserves. This was compounded by the fact that much of their armor and heavy weapons had been lost during the fighting in May. On June 5, the Germans renewed their offensive and quickly broke through the French lines. Nine days later Paris fell, and the French government fled to Bordeaux. With the French in full retreat south, the British evacuated their remaining 215,000 troops from Cherbourg and St. Malo (Operation Ariel). On June 25, the French surrendered, with the Germans requiring them to sign the documents at Compiègne in the same rail car that Germany had been compelled to sign the armistice ending World War I. German forces occupied much of northern and western France, while an independent, pro-German state (Vichy France) was formed in the southeast under the leadership of Maréchal Philippe Pétain.
this is also known as the battle of france, or the "fall of france." this was the german invasion of france and the low countries.
it made sense militarily to germany because after france surrendered, it became a german occupation zone and an italian occupational zone. remember, germany, italy and japan were the 3 major axis powers.
Kiowa Apache Army aviation in assaults, other than the Ah-64?
Other than the AH-64, and the Kiowa's , AND Little Birds.
Do Black Hawk helicopters ( not apart of SOAR), engage in attacks? I know they have gunners, and some have weapons on them, but I am not sure if the ones that are armed are SOAR or regular Army helos?
For example, if a UH-60 was in an area where Infantrymen needed support? would the UH-60 do it? or would it be left for an apache to come later?
No, A Utility Helicopters guns are for self defense and to protect the passengers while getting on or off the aircraft. Attack aircraft are far better suited for an attack.
Luftwaffe Raf Have the Americans ever heard of this famous World War 2 quote from a British general? (read on)?
When we were in the battlefields in Europe and the RAF flew overhead, the Germans ducked, when the Luftwaffe (German airforce) flew overhead the Allies ducked, when the US airforce flew overhead, EVERYBODY DUCKED
i'm sure they have now...
(he's implying the americans are cowboys and morons)

The seven-part documentary series THE RAF AT WAR examines the shifting roles, responsibilities, capabilities and accomplishments of the British Royal Air Force, over the course of roughly 100 years. Subtitled 1940-1960, this box set contains two of the seven installments (Episode 3 and Episode 4) that study what was arguably the RAF`s most critical historical period - the Second World War of the 1940s, when it succeeded at fending off Hitler`s Luftwaffe fleets, followed within 10 years by the Cold War, when the RAF provided nuclear deterrent and helped defend Europe. In this set, Episode 3, FIGHTER COMMAND: A VICIOUS STING, discusses the evolution of various fighters from WWII biplanes, Hurricanes and Spitfighters through the "air superiority" crafts of the 1950s and `60s. Also included are two bonus programs, THE RAF ON DISPLAY and THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN.
