Ending the Phony War and transitioning to other phases

Would we agree that it ended with the invasion of France, possibly the planning for Operation Sea Lion, and the Battle of Britain? I have written and welcome comment on what I hope is a reasonably well-developed article on the BoB; there are also some related technology articles on the aircraft, radar, etc., which are probably relevant to the invasion of France. We do need a good title for that invasion.

Is there interest in trying to collaborate in a new article between the end of the Phony War and the Battle of Britain?Howard C. Berkowitz 08:46, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

I added some initial references, which happen to be U.S. There's a substantial amount in Churchill, and I'd hope some people here know Continental sources. Howard C. Berkowitz 09:12, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Completely rewritten

The correct title of the article is Phoney War (not Phony) and it needed a complete rewrite. John (talk) 16:20, 25 July 2023 (CDT)
