Maginot Line
An extremely impressive wall that streched from the southern, Italian border of France, to the cross-section of the borders of Belgium, France, and Germany.
Impressive though it was, the Germans bypassed it by passing through neutral Belgium. While the rest of the world was warning them, the French wanted proof. (Much like they wanted proof of Saddam's Weapons of Mass Destruction.) Unfortunately, their version of proof was several hundreds of tanks rolling through France waving the Nazi flag.

The Maginot Line was named after an architect whose name just happened to be Maginot.
The French were stupid enough to think that they had the full backing of Belgium, and that Erwin Rommel had forgotten his World Geography.
