They got a measure of temporary revenge.
September 1943:
Germany never stopped wanting to goto war but the French certainty didn't have the stomach for that shit when Hitler started rapidly invading and occupying lands across Europe. France gets mercilessly clowned on for 'waving the white flag' to this day, but I think a lot of it had to do with shit coming at them so soon after the Great War. Amost all of the trench fighting in WW1 took place on French and Belgian soil, France had to mobilize over 8 million soldiers in that conflict: over 50% of them ended up killed, disabled or multilated with nearly 40% of those deployed aged 18-22 never making it home.
Are you familiar with the details of the assassination attempt on this son of a bitch? It reads like a movie script or some shit, it's unbelievable the initial bomb didn't kill him and that dude was shooting back at the assailants in the middle of the street with basically, his body blown open and apart.
Reinhard Tristan Heydrich (7 March 1904 – 4 June 1942) was a high-ranking German SS and police official during the Nazi era and a principal architect of the Holocaust. He was chief of the Reich Security Main Office (including the Gestapo, Kripo, and SD), an organization charged with seeking out and neutralizing resistance to the NSDAP via arrests, deportations, and extrajudicial murders. He was directly responsible for the Einsatzgruppen, the special task squads that traveled in the wake of the German Wehrmacht and murdered more than two million people by mass shooting and gassing. He chaired the January 1942 Wannsee Conference which formalized plans for the Final Solution to the Jewish Question—the deportation and genocide of all Jews in German-occupied Europe. Many historians regard Heydrich as the darkest figure within the Nazi regime; Adolf Hitler described him as "the man with the iron heart".
