{Spam?} [WarInEur] France 1940 and changing French unitstrength- Addendum

[Kent & Sue Haunschild]

The reason the CW was invading was the French were aiding and abetting the 
German by allowing German troops, supplies, and weapons to be transported 
through the country to participate in the combat in Iraq.

So you can't categorically state that the French wouldn't support the 
Germans under any conditions.
