Plan Dyle was literally the opposite of what you just said. It formed the basis of all French strategic planning between 1920 and 1940, and by god, the Germans' plans were almost what the French had predicted right up until February/March 1940 when the OKW threw their 20 years' worth of planning in the trash can and started almost from scratch.
