German forces invaded France on May 10, 1940. On June 22, 1940, France signed an armistice with Germany which went into effect on June 25, 1940. Under the terms of the armistice, Germany annexed the provinces of Alsace and Lorraine which shared borders with Germany and had long been a bone of contention between the two countries.
At 4:00 am on June 5, 1940, the German offensive was launched, initially on the western stretch between Laon and the Channel, with a barrage of dive-bombers and a powerful thrust of mechanized and armoured troops.
