To be fair, the Maginot line wasn't breached. The Germans went around it.

A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Random twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Low Hanging Fruit thread.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. These include Social media screenshots with a title punchline / no punchline, recent (after the start of the Ukraine War) reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Low effort thread instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

Which was the entire point of the line. Belgium back out if their defense deal with France, and even German high command was pissed about how quickly Rommel was going through Northern France. Fall Gelb was absolutely balls to the wall insane and could have seen the German Panzers encircled if the Allied forces had been the least bit competent.
inb4 Russia steamrolls through Lithuania to get around the barrier
The way they overran Kiev in 3 day?
Okay hear me out.
Begun, the Slav wars have
Again?!?!?!
Wait, they stopped?
Put crocodiles in a moat at the bottom please
with lasers??? Or are those only for the sharks
The budget allows for uhhmmhh sea bass.
Completely useless and the fucking Muscovites will use human waves to breach the line. The best solution, a shit ton of tungsten pellets, cluster munitions, willy pete and my favorite...napalm. Bring back fucking napalm!

I mean given the tactics in Ukraine it's not out of the question...
By the time they reach Poland there will be no meat left to throw at the line.
Why is that?
It's not like Belarus will resist them
omg I didn't know a single person could be so based
Make Napalm Great Again
The more things change the more they stay the same
Now imagine me in the Eastern Line
Sitting on a mine in the Eastern Line
Now it's turned out nice again
The Army life is fine
Putin can't kid us a lot
His secret weapon's genocide
But you ought to see what the polish got
Down on the Eastern Line
Down on the Eastern Line
Pointless, they will come through Hungary and Slovakia if Ukraine falls
Not pointless, a somewhat protected border is better than a not protected border if they have to go around it
That was the entire point of the Maginot line
There's a philosophical question: if it did it's job flawlessly, and still accomplished nothing, is it pointless?
It accomplished slowing the Germans down and forcing them with going thought the rougher terrain of Belgium. That's far from nothing
As I said, it worked flawlessly, but if it worked flawlessly, but France still got overrun, it'skinda debatable what the point was?
What's the point of seatbelts if people wearing them might still die in car crashes? Might as well get rid of them then
So you mean.... the perfect eastern maginot line?
Deputy MoD wants to withdraw from Ottawa treaty for this
I think you call that the "start of history"
Except that the only way for these fucks to go around the Eastern Shield is to go through Ukraine, and that's not exactly possible for these idiots
