German troops crossed through Belgium in an attempt to flank the French forces lined in trenches along the border.
It was called the Maginot Line, a series of French, not British, fortifications along the German border which were supposedly impenetrable. The Germans avoided this by flanking the line and going around it, invading France through the Ardennes and the Low Countries.
'la ligne Maginot' (named after a Defence minister) was a line of fortifications along the German border, supposed to hold back a German invasion. Indeed, they took another route.

The string of French and British bunkers along the German border was known as the Maginot Line. Constructed primarily by France in the 1920s and 1930s, it was a series of fortifications designed to deter a German invasion. While it included various bunkers, artillery casemates, and underground tunnels, the line ultimately proved ineffective during World War II as German forces bypassed it through Belgium, leading to the fall of France in 1940. The Maginot Line symbolizes the limitations of static defense strategies in the face of mobile warfare.
