Guderian said that something such as a coordinated French attack into the flank of the German armor forces like what happened at Arras could have defeated the Germans. OTL it was not properly coordinated by the French.
What is the aftermath if the French had coordinated such an attack? German defeat?
I think such a plan has one other historical example, Manstein's Rochade, castling strategy at the third battle of Kharkov. Something NATO would later consider but never adopt as a strategy during the Cold War because it meant abandoning W. Germany to Soviet forces.
