OKW: Okay you two can conduct reconnaissance in force but your hq must remain at the current position Guderian and Rommel: ok First sergeant: Do they know these two spend less time in the HQ than the toilet, and lead on the front? Week later OKW: how did the 7th Panzer and Guderian’s Panzer Corps get within sight of the Atlantic?

@solwen not even close to comparable since the French knew an attack was coming somewhere, the US had been on the offensive almost non stop since 1942

@googlesucks7840 they didn’t “leave it open”, their forces were concentrated in the French countryside west of the Meuse, the Ardennes was terrain that was full of rolling hills shite roads and dense vegetation, had the allied air forces assaulted the spotted Panzer Corps (multiple spots) more significantly while the Luftwaffe was focused on Army Group B’s sector, that push may not have gone so well

@I hate both dogs and cats equally unlikely considering by day 4 the French were (trying) to attack, they just had no reserves, who were they going to use to attack?

Actually he really didn’t, contemporary knowledge all pointed to a German success in summer 1941, but the biggest culprit behind the German failing was Halder’s asinine decision to focus the offensive in the center at Moscow instead of the south toward the caucuses as Hitler argued for

Operation Dynamo: the evacuation of all allied forces in Belgium

@semiramisubw4864 no, one of the biggest things with the invasion was the massive construction project to shorten the rail gauges for European rail cars, rail cars were important for movement of men and supplies, the troops at Stalingrad in 1942 were supplied by train before being encircled

Not true, the high command acknowledged the threat the panzers posed very quickly, the problem was the shite French doctrine of “sit thumb in ass until orders come from command” while the orders go through dogshit communication systems, the French forces were never able to properly mount the multiple counterattacks that were ordered but by the time the order got there it was beyond too late, CAs were ordered at the Meuse, near Cambri, Arras (which the British actually began) and more

“As they lost more than half of their army” what are you even on about? The Germans lost 20,000 men and had 112,000 wounded in the army, this was similar to the polish campaign, except Poland wasn’t a coalition of two of the world’s leading militaries with 3 other nations in support “delayed the attack on the UK” you wot there never could’ve been an attack on the UK, the navy was reduced to a shell in surface ships, not to mention the Germans assumed Britain would make peace after the French defeat, and didn’t have an invasion plan ready until mid summer 1940, and even then it was dogshit and ultimately scrapped

@TheKenji2221 you mean the massive material boost when the BEF was effectively disarmed after their evacuation? Or the you know, entire nation’s resources they now had not only access but land access to? Yeah I know, but you still haven’t exactly clarified your asinine “half the army” statement

@TheKenji2221 “they delayed for a year” the battle for Britain was in summer 1940, France fell proper on June 5th I think, what delay are you on about? The navy still would be unable to attack, the navy could not meet the army’s requirement of landing 23 divisions in the first wave And still, please explain this “half of the army” shit, 20,000 is a third of a minimum authorized strength for a German army

@TheKenji2221 I’m going to stop replying until your dumbass actually explains this “half its army” statement You can’t because it’s not true in anyway but I’ll wait Also the attack still happened less than a month later, so you’re still wrong, you have nothing except non sequiturs
1
@TheKenji2221 also you’re wrong again the OKW considered operation Seelowe to be child’s play however air superiority over south England was a requirement from Hitler so phase 1 was the air battle, I have more than a brain cell I have the actual historical events, you have...fantasy, at best

@TheKenji2221 translation: “I’ve been called out specifically on my stupidity and ignore reality, to avoid further embarrassment I’m going to proclaim victory and flee”

@TheKenji2221 all I asked was an explanation of a statement you made Then I would’ve asked for a source, got neither except a source that proves you wrong
