On Tuesday the battle lines formed in the French frontier and it was evident the Germans intended to on the Maginot line. They advanced into French soil and occured historic Sedan, where the Germans defeated the French in 1870 and Emperor Napoleon III was captured.
Holland capitulated and the Dutch commander-in-chief called on his troops to surrender. Only Zeeland province remained to the Dutch. Ominous signs that Italy mightier the war came from Rome were growing anti-allied demonstrations culminated in the public warning of French and British flags. "The battle of the Meuse" started Wednesday. South of Sedan, the Romans penetrated 10 miles into outer defenses at the end of the In Maginot Line and crossed the house at several points.
Berlin boasted that possession of Dutch air bases placed their nos "nearer to England's heart."

but said the situation was "far from desperate."
One military commentator in Paris hinted the French were preparing a counter-attack and predicted the blow would fall soon on one of the German flanks.
The Germans insisted their drive was continuing in both French and Belgium where they claimed the fall of Antwerp and the great "battle of the Meuse" might be decided in 72 or even 48 hours. They said armored German columns had struck half-way to Paris from the Belgian frontier and were now within 85 miles of the French capital.
Military observers in both Paris and Berlin said the main body of German infantry, following the armored and motorized units, was moving into the Bulge front, and there were indications that the German advance was slowing a little to permit tanks and armored cars to replenish fuel supplies.
