Besides, the Soviets aren’t even in the Pacific version, and West India is balanced by British Columbia, so it’s even there and the European UK doesn’t get more…
France and what should be done about it.

I think Hitler deserves a smite at the least
I am sure Aldertag will be the man to do it. :-D
I still haven’t figured out how to yet

I know there was a response in there somewhere.

Yes there was. I err…. did that on purpose.

I meant to do that.

Touting being one of the first modern democrocies, the French Government should be “of the people, by the people, for the people”
In WWII the french government threw its people under the bus
Let me reitterate, I dont despise the french, or the french fighting spirt….I regret the fact that when it came time for them to “put up theri dukes” and fight, they only went one round with the germans and threw in the towel
in boxing, you look down upon the man who throws in the towel
However; you feel bad for, yet respect the man who stays in the ring, against the odds and loses fair and square, even if its a TKOAnyway to get back on subject, I agree with this statement.

I think the French just had a diffrent picture in how the next war would be fought…They stayed stationary and being the winner of WW I ,having a respectful Maginotline-Defence and thicker armored Tanks and better piercing rounds gives you some good hope that the next conflict will be solved well in your favor…BUT, what the Germans exercised in modern warfare at that time (blitzkrieg) was as they said breathtaking and everything above their imagination…I wouldn’t give the French bad credit for that. Everybody was stunned!..It took Stalin a couple of month to realize that he was invaded, by that time the Invaders were allraedy on their way to Kiev…

Yeah, but the Russians didn’t surrender.

Keep in mind they didn’t really have much of a say in the matter :lol:

That is correct, butt do remember there was only 40 million french and 200 million russians, and Sovjet Union territory was like 30 times larger than France, and had a very severe winter, too.
also if you visit http://www.dupyinstitute.org/ and look at the Captive Rate Study, you will see that the French did fight better than Italian and Russian soldiers. During the first phase of Operation Barbarossa, more than 3 million russian soldiers surrendered. So dont come with the “Russians never surrender” - sh*t BS talk.

I’m talking about the country as a whole, not an isolated battle.

The French with British help didn’t last any longer than Poland. And Poland was being double-smashed.
-
naw france was just caught off gaurd. and you have to analize the political situation too. and most of thie best forces were on the line.
-
Oh and you think Poland wasn’t caught off gaurd. They put up a better fight, with less resources, than France.

yeah
I had a weekend like that once… but I think she said they were Japanese twins not Polish -
It’s a good thing she cleared that up for you, it’s kind of hard to tell the difference between Japanese and Polish.
-
Anything’s possible… mind you Polish twins don’t appear on the “Ten Things To Do Before I Die” list.
[Warning: Above contains ongoing vague movie reference that may entirely elude some readers.]
-
And Japanese twins do. I think any nationality twins will do.
-
You know if twins were involved that would invariably make for an awkward moment when you said one’s name at an inopportune time, you know what I mean.

Just a chance you have to take.
