Why France was defeated in 6 Weeks?

In Summer 1940 the Wehrmacht was able to beat the French Forces in a matter of 6 weeks, this was quite surprising not only to the Germans, but also the rest of the world, especially the United States of America. Now the question is why were the French defeated in mere 6 weeks, after all in First World War, they won and held against the Germans for more than 4 years. »» SUPPORT MHV «« » paypal donation - https://paypal.me/mhvis » patreon - https://www.patreon.com/join/mhv » subscribe star - https://www.subscribestar.com/mhv » Book Wishlist https://www.amazon.de/gp/registry/wishlist/3LJIXNJIUXJES/ref=cm_wl_huc_view?language=en_GB »» MERCHANDISE «« » teespring - https://teespring.com/stores/military-history-visualized » SOURCES « Frieser, Karl-Heinz: Blitzkrieg-Legende.
