What is sitzkrieg and what does it tell us about respectively french and English mentality and war preparedness in 1939?
Sitzkrieg is a German term for what the English would call "the phoney war". It refers to the time between the invasion of Poland and the invasion of Denmark and Norway, when very little combat occured, even though Germany was at war with the allies. The french attempted some small actions into Germany, but nothing decisive. In September, with most of her forces occupied in Poland, Germany would have a very exposed western front. Therefore, the allies would have a great opportunity to launch an offensive then and end the war early. But they didn't. I suppose you could make a case of low readiness and defensive posture.
