D.
Germany used rapid "blitzkrieg" (combined tank, motorized infantry, airpower and paratrooper) offensives in spring 1940 to overrun the Netherlands and Belgium and break into France. That rapid advance cut off Allied armies, forcing a withdrawal to Dunkirk and the subsequent evacuation. (Norway was taken in a separate April 1940 operation — Operation Weserübung — by sea and air landings.)
