They weren't "stronger" then most, but their tank generals shocked the French and the eastern Europeans with Blitzkrieg. Before then, the world never saw attacks move that quickly.
If Germany doesn't attack Russia then yes, they would have owned all of western Europe before we even joined the war.

Germany was actually weaker than France on paper. The problem was France's entire defense plan was a WWI type stalemate. They could have easily stopped the blitz but the top French generals were phucking stupid and didn't move reserves in time, even held up reinforcements due change in top generals when hours mattered. The bravery of their soldiers was something of wonder, many units fought to the last man. Entire divisions were sent south when they could have been used to stop Germany cold in Belgium

Did they not? The Axis controlled pretty much everything in western Europe besides the south of France by the end of June 1940. We didn't enter for another 18 months.
