  1. > but France was stronger than Russia militarily in 1940 France and allies killed 50,000 Axis soldiers in 43 days (1,163 people a day). USSR killed 383 thousand Axis soldiers (1984 people per day) in 193 days (1941).

  2. You are downplaying Germany's strength. The Wehrmacht had 420 thousand vehicles in March 1940. Also, the Wehrmacht had enough ammunition after the Polish campaign. During the French campaign, only 6 to 17% of the various calibers of ammunition were used.

  3.  @AjitMD  This is a popular myth. If you open the statistics of German ammunition that Hans-Adolf Jacobsen shows in his book (Fall Gelb: Der Kampf um den deutschen Operationsplan zur Westoffensive 1940), you will see that the ground army and the Luftwaffe had enough ammunition after the Polish campaign. In addition, if you open the transcript of Hitler’s meeting with German generals on August 22, 1939 and November 23, 1939, you will see that Hitler highly appreciates the industrial potential of Germany and believes that the Wehrmacht has a numerical and qualitative superiority over France and England.

  7. 27 thousand are only killed, but if you count the missing, then the number will increase to 49 thousand.

  8. This guy makes a mistake when comparing blitzkrieg in France and positional war in the USSR.
