Americans have no idea about WW2...Which was really a conflict between Germany and Russia...The only thing I thank the Americans is not to have allowed the Soviets to control Europe.
PS: The maps showing Europe all Red with nazi flag is an explicit error.
All the countries outside the Reich were allied with Germany on its own accord, even the French. This includes Italy, France (Southern part), Roumania, Hungary, Finnland, etc...They were not puppet states of Germany.
It's no use to discuss whom of the Allies were the best or worst warriors, because the war in Europe was won by the lunacy of the Nazis - like Ike said: "My best ally in europe was german leadership!"
Few Americans realize that many of the French were quite ambivalent about their liberal socialist government and found the harder right-leaning politics of the Germans more to their taste. They were as unhappy with their government as many of our conservatives are with Obama, did not see socialism as truly French, and were very happy to see true conservative war hero Petain put in charge of France. It was the French right who "rolled over" for Hitler.
the documentaries of HC is full of heroic comments. well any of the soldiers who fought are heroes, but I think is better to check out other documentaries, like "Battlefield". And mostly the comments here are full of patriotism, the US style. Good think here is the 3D images, impressive ones.
And inflicted greater losses per day to the Germans in combat than the Russians did.
I'm an American, and I openly state that any of my countrymen who buy into this French bashing bullshit are congenial retards and are part of the reason that Europe thinks of us as such.
The French that are mentioned in this video were a group of French who chose to work for Hitler. They were cowards while the rest of the French people fought against Germany. Plus these French forces were firing on our own troops. It would make sense why the show would put them down.
@revolrz22 US were fighting with little armies in the range about 200 000 men. Russians were battling armies 2 000 000 each. And where did you get your numbers - your ass ? It's good to be proud of your 'nation' even if it's nonexistent in a country which is just about 200 years old but don't try to ass rape the truth as your 'nation's' propaganda tends to do ...
The Vichy French were pro nazi fascist. They represented 40% of French people who voted for the French Nazi party. How are they traitors ? British and churchill sold out the Empire, and are the true traitors.
u shouldnt blame the french for that they just took the only deal left to them and dont forget the french resistance has saved more pilots crashed over europe then any other resistance, btw i'm not french and dont like the french :)
We can blame the Vichy French all we want. Once they start killing Americans or Brits all sympathy is out the window for them. They could have just not fought and allied with us seeing we were there to fight against Hitler and he was just using those Vichy French as pawns anyway.
Or maybe I should say empathy. Anyway it's not like we hate French there were many who were in the resistance and fought bravely against their oppressors in the face of annihilation. It's just the ones who fought against allied troops who should get no respect.
Patton's view of combat was very different from Hitlers. Patton had a chivalrous aspect to him. He would not battle women, children and wanted men to be honorable and respectful. Those that gave their life for the cause was viewed by him as the greatest hero. Hitler saw people even Germans people as a means to his end. Near the end of the war Hitler said that all the good men had died for him, so let the civilians still alive be destroyed. He was evil.
good series dude. no other good shows left until you booted this up. still it is sort of sad that patton wound up disgraced at the end. he had guts for sure
French troops always surrendered like a bunch of cowardswhether part of Allies or not. Nothing new.
