Army Group C
Fall Braun was not carried out, due to the start of "Fall Gelb" (English: Case Yellow) on 10 May 1940, which resulted in the occupation of Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Belgium by the Germany Armed Forces. By the beginning of July 1940, "Fall Gelb" had run its course and the north of France had also fallen into German hands. From this point, the newly planned "Fall Rot" (Case Red) was to take place, involving the occupation of central France from the north. From 5 June 1940, Fall Rot was successfully carried out, during which a severely attenuated variation of "Fall Braun" took place using only German troops. For this campaign, Army Group C was deployed, "Fall Rot" contrastingly having been completed by Army Groups A and B. Army Group C was successful in breaking through the main French line of defense, the Maginot Line. With the cease fire of 25 June 1940, all fighting was stopped.
