💥Crossing the Marne River, France 1940 - [Real Footage France WW2] The Battle of France 1940

Описание: 💥Crossing the Marne River, France 1940 - Real Footage German Forces in France WW2

In this rare WWII footage, German forces press their rapid advance deep into France. First, infantry and horse-drawn artillery move toward the Marne. Then, a pontoon bridge is assembled under fire, allowing soldiers, bikes, and even tanks to surge across.

This crossing marked a key moment in the 1940 blitzkrieg. Gustav Guderian’s tanks had reached Châlons-sur-Marne on June 12—just 80 miles from Paris—paving the way for fast-moving German units . The footage captures the raw speed and improvisation that defined the campaign.
