When Germany declared war on Czechoslovakia in 1938, she found herself not only at war with the small country, but with England and France as well. The situation was complicated even more when the Soviet Union declared war on Germany due to their treaty obligations with Czechoslovakia. Meaning that Germany would face a two front war, the Wehrmacht quickly shipped everything it had up to their North Western border for a winter offensive through the Low Countries in order to by pass the French Maginot.
