Phony War

The Phony War took place after the fall of Poland. Germany had paused to regroup during the winter of 1939-1940 til April 1940. The British and French decided to stay on the defensive.

Because so little combat took place, it soon became known as the Phony War or the Sitzkrieg. Winston Churchill referred to it as the "Twilight War".

During this time, the British Royal Air Force started dropping propaganda leaflets on Germany. These leaflet flights were often called "Bomphlet raids" or "Confetti War" in the British press.
