Odd indeed that the French invaded Germany first in WWII. They didn't do a very good job of recon as there were only about 200 Panzer I and IIs to stop them and absolutely no air cover as it was all in Poland. They could've stormed all the way to Berlin if thay had had the initiative to do so and the tactics to employ doing so, but they were still in the WWI mindset of using tanks piecemeal as infantry support weapons only though they possessed the largest army in Europe at the time. The lack of initiative goes without saying. The French only invaded several kilometers and still stayed within sight of French soil before turning back some days later to their fixed fortifications.
Next question:
General Robert E. Lee's famous horse "Traveler" was not originally named that. Lee had to rename the horse when he succeeded General Albert Sidney Johnston as Commanding General of the Confederacy. What was Traveler's original name and why was he renamed? The correct answer will get you 200 milbucks.
