SITZKRIEG –THE PHONEY WAR• SITZKREIG MEANS: WARFARE MARKED BY A LACK OF
AGGRESSION OR PROGRESS. Rather than attacking Germany, the British and French prepare for WWI style battles
They rely on fortifications & trenches and simply wait for the Germans to attack first
Germany uses this time to go after the weaker countries of Europe
They capture Norway, Holland, Denmark and Belgium
The Nazis oppress these people install dictatorships
