I may have overlooked it, but I did not see any mention in the letter, that most French after Hitler's subjugation, gladly joined forces with the Wehrmarcht. They could not wait to start loading up box cars heading West.

The Wehrmacht conquered France in about two weeks. It was not a high point of military strategy.
The French High command foolishly concentrated their forces around the Maginot line. A stratgey of forward defense with armored units positioned in the rear would caused Germany more problems.
