France and Germany were relatively ill prepared for the war economy but they headed ahead with a false hope.
I'm not sure whether you are informed about the state of the German Bundeswehr. this force has been underfunded for decades, is no longer technically up to date and is completely incapable of going into action anywhere, let alone operating in a major war zone.
