As it turned out, the attack by the Pyrenees was a hoax. When the French crossed over the passes they found that the supposed vehicles were cardboard dummy carved on the back of the bulls.

A real attack began with a landing at the ports of Brittany, after which the Spaniards marched along the Channel's coast. This maneuver cut off France from the sea and created an opportunity to fling Paris. Before the French divisions returned from the Pyrenees, the Spaniards were already at the height of Caen, preparing for the final blow to the 80km wide belt, which was defended by only one - and only a semi-drilled division.

As the Italians, who were advancing from the Alps, as usual, did not hurry, the assault was delayed, and at that time, the Poles came from the north-east.
