French Communard trenches (1939)

Failure of Flanders-Wallonie Strategic Offensive and German Race to the Sea forced Jacobin government to conscript as many men and women as possible to stop the counterattack. Kaiserliche Armee encountered strong resistance from Syndicalist fighters composed from the Union of Britain's conscripts and volunteers from across the world. At the beginning of the war, both sides expected a quick victory - Communards pushed their tanks through Flanders Wallonie to invade Rheinland and ignite socialist uprising, while German counterattacked them and seized Northern France. Battle of France ended after six months, when German forces conducted offensive on the whole frontline, inflicted massive casualties and occupied whole country after rapid Blitzkrieg campaign. Two million French and one million German soldiers died due to Battle of France.​
