In this post, I argue that while there are many unique factors involved in the Fall of France, by de-mythologizing the Blitzkrieg, there are enduring lessons that can be taken from it, as illustrated by the case of Ukraine. Based on Karl-Heinz Frieser’s book, *The Blitzkrieg Legend*, the German victory in the Battle of France was not the product of a master plan, but of superiority in basic principles that ultimately made a decisive victory possible. By focusing on building out these capabilities (rather than “game changers”) Ukraine stands the best chance of achieving the advantages necessary to liberate its occupied territories. (If you can’t tell, I highly recommend this book.) If you’re more interested in a broader overview, I also recommend Gerhard P. Gross’s *The Myths and Reality of German Warfare*.
