It was incomplete. The Germans made some feint attacks, but it was outflanked by the Panzer advance through the Ardennes & was effectively useless as a defensive line.

I guess you are refering to the Maginot line, which was a complex fortress along the border with Germany built between the two world wars.
Germany's response to the Maginot Line, a fortified defense line along the French-German border, was to bypass it by invading France through Belgium during World War II. This strategy was part of the Blitzkrieg tactic, allowing German forces to outflank the heavily fortified line and quickly advance into France. The Germans viewed the Maginot Line as a static defense that could be circumvented, demonstrating their emphasis on mobility and surprise in warfare. Ultimately, this tactic contributed to the rapid fall of France in 1940.
Maginot Line
France built the Maginot Line after World War I as a defensive response to the devastation experienced during the war, particularly from German invasions. The fortified line was designed to deter future attacks and protect France’s eastern border. French leaders believed that a strong static defense would provide security and buy time in the event of another conflict. However, the line ultimately proved ineffective, as Germany bypassed it during World War II by invading through Belgium.

The Germans did not actually break through the Maginot Line; instead, they bypassed it during World War II. The Maginot Line was a defensive fortification built by France along its eastern border to deter German invasion. However, in May 1940, the German military executed a rapid invasion through the Ardennes Forest, which was less fortified, allowing them to encircle French forces and render the Maginot Line ineffective. This tactical maneuver ultimately led to the swift defeat of France.
