How was Germany able to conquer France so quickly in WWII when France was considered a top world power?

A follow up question: Is there any historical consensus as to the effect of meth on German success in France? There was a book that recently came out on the subject (Blitzed by Norman Ohler), but I hadn't previously seen serious scholarship around the topic and am curious to know what other historians think.
