  1. News media shilling for China in other news the sky is blue, fire is hot and Biden is an idiot.

  2. I did a paper on it. The real issue was that Germany out maneuvered the Allied forces (I use that term as it was joint BEF and French Army force that was fighting Germany.) by moving through a region of Belgium that was seen as impassible for a mechanized force by the Allies and then you have Germany using a little invention called Radio while France was still delivering messages the old fashioned way. The Allies were forced to the coast of the channel and from there it was easy to capture Paris. By contrast in WWI Germany was never able to cut off the Allied forces in France so they made it shouting distance of Paris. The Allies then kicked them back towards the Belgian border.

  3.  @renon1946  The entire point of the Maginot Line was to reroute the German forces. The Allied Plan was to mobilize their forces to defend the Belgian Low Countries in case of an attack as Germany previously attacked through the Low Countries in WWI and they would be ready this time. Then Belgium decided to become neutral and Hitler made the last minute change to have the Panzer Armies advance through the Ardennes which the Allies believed was impossible with a mechanized force.

  4. The French didn’t surrender because of morale. Germany had the same problems when they invaded Poland.

  5. It wasn’t even that they were out Paris but they were cut off from the army. The Germans were so close to Paris in WWI that you could hear the gunshots of the soldiers in the city but the army was still present as a bulwark that pushed the Germans back across the river near the Belgian Border and they never went that close to Paris for the remainder of the war.

  6. France did not get soft. That is not what happened and the French Army have Germany hell just as they did in WWI.

  7. The claim is basically they are unable to get IDs somehow.

  8. You don’t need a SEAL Tram that is excessive.

  9. They did have a Army but they wisely hopped across the the channel with their British counterparts

  10. Actually it wasn’t the Russians that forced Germany to pull back but the Allies fought tooth and nail by the time the battlefront was in shouting distance of Paris and logistical issues means most large scale offensives like what Germany did France eventually loses steam due to the army outrunning their supply lines.

  11.  @mangano717  The Germans don’t actually understand logistics all that well. This is shown in both World Wars.

  12.  @mangano717  If their supply lines were so good how did they forced so far from Paris?

  13.  @mangano717  I would honestly doubt as ever advance in WWI went like that you picked up some steam and then ground to a halt because of supply chain issues.

  14. That is not true at all Germany had the same morale issues as every other nation because not only was WWI hell for them, they lost it, and their economy was FUBAR even before the Depression. The nations Germany were small and most were not allied with other nations. The Germans later outmaneuvered the Allies in France. The people however had strong beliefs in their nation. Part of why Dunkirk was a miracle for the British was because the French Army was giving Germany hell. In the Netherlands, the monarch’s oath to the constitution made resistance against effectively sponsored by the government and the Poles well they made Germany pay big time. Polish units in the RAF for charging in to engage German planes at point blank range because while the Brits were okay with just scaring off the enemy pilots. The Poles wanted them to crash. Polish Armored units have some notable achievements too including killing The Black Baron, Germany’s tank ace and the Battle of Hill 262 where they dug in their heels said Germany will not pass them and after they drove Germany away, they chased them down to Chambios.

  15. The Vichy Government wasn’t the legitimate government. The real government was De Gaulle’s Free France that hopped the channel.

  16. Sorry but this isn’t under the legal definition of treason.

  17. Blitzkrieg is not based in fact either. Germany just out-maneuvered the Allies by attacking through the one part of Belgium nobody thought you could invade from.

  18. They aren’t Chinese. That is reason enough for a totalitarian regime.

  19.  @newperve  It wasn’t their equipment they were actually more mechanized and larger in terms of ground forces than the Heer. The issue was the supply chain was hard to maintain when you have no radio communication.

  20.  @renon1946  Germany was within shouting distance of Paris in World War I. People could actually the gunshots from the city.

  21.  @newperve  And I was bringing up why they got the point at Dunkirk and they still fought like hell at Dunkirk.

  22. I wouldn’t call Germany’s choices genius. Their first plan was literally the same thing they tried in WWI.
    1
  23.  @napoleoniv2646  I wouldn’t call it is military genus as it took six weeks to capture France not six days and the military are the same bozos who tonight they could take Moscow while still fighting in Leningrad and Kiev which would leave their flanks completely exposed. Like with the advance of through the Ardennes it was Hitler who tried to salvage the situation.

  24.  @napoleoniv2646  Except there was indeed a path to victory. They still had to cross the Meuse or Somme rivers to get to Paris.

  25.  @napoleoniv2646  Yeah that is a load of crap. Many armies have snatched victory from the jaws of certain defeat before.

  26.  @napoleoniv2646  Even after the march through the Ardennes, you still have Somme and Aisene rivers to cross. Blow the bridges and hold out until Germany’s strained supply train finally collapses.

  27.  @napoleoniv2646  They did have troubles sustaining them in France it was how they were forced out. And you making assumption that I would have the army leave after blowing the bridges as opposed to having them stationed across the river waiting to blow up any German trying to cross.

  28.  @napoleoniv2646  I never assumed they never put up any resistance. I said you assumed that given you didn't the French Army wouldn't be taking position by the river to prevent them from building bridges. And logisitics certainly played in their loss of Normady. For example, the Tiger Tank frequently had to be abandoned as they required multipe vehicles to try to recover the thing instead of needing to one tank to tow another, they were running short on fuel etc.

  29. ​ @napoleoniv2646 Germany's troops weren't any better. They were conscripts after all. And Germany had bad leaders as it was the leaders who decided the Schifflen plan should be repeated.

  30.  @napoleoniv2646  But you can't call the German more professional then.

  31.  @napoleoniv2646  Still doesn’t make your claim true.
