  • I mean every other nation in Europe did too at the time. Only geography saved Britain. Germany rolled over everything in it’s path in the early part of the war.

    The French made one massive strategic error, fought hard after realising it and were instrumental in holding off the Germans while the British bailed back to the mainland to fight another day.

    I’m tired of the implied reduction of combat capability of the modern French military that comes with a single strategic balls up 80 odd years ago.
