Hitler's Directive #6: 'Case Yellow' in '39 (Hypothetical) - TWiE The First Blitzkrieg

French-German Frontier - 26TH October 1939: Flush with success from the Polish Campaign, Hitler was beginning to look westward. Hitler intended to hold on to Germany's eastern conquests, either through intimidation of Britain and France, or by conquering them too. He put out peace feelers in early October, but was met with no response. On 9TH October, he issued a long memorandum to the leaders of his Armed Forces, explaining that Britain and France had kept Germany down throughout history, and that now was the time to strike to establish a united German Reich. On the same day, Hitler issued Directive #6, giving provisional orders for an attack in the West - Code-named: CASE YELLOW. Hitler stressed the importance of attacking as soon as possible; using the same forces that had been used in the Polish attack. However, the movement of these forces to the German-French frontier would have taken a super human effort, even for the well-oiled German military machine and was ultimately delayed 27 times. The CASE YELLOW Plan was modeled after the Von Schlieffen Plan utilized in 1914. This scenario explores the possibility that the Germans moved their forces, albeit somewhat weakened, across from east to west, and attacked using the 1914 plan.
