@fab050753 Hitler offered peace but you guys wanted to defend Poland even though you lost your own country due to arrogance against the Germans. I met DeGaul at Eisenhower;s funeral in 1969 and he didn't even look down while shaking my hand. I ever liked him after that. You are right there are a lot of French heroic behavior, but the same with German soldiers too. It was the Treaty of Versailles (sp.) that caused German anger.

@fab050753 The Leaders of France deserve no respect, The war could have been over 1939, The French Forces could have occupied the Rhine and won the war as heroes. However the French pulled back and went on the defence. The French troops done their duty and most were conripts, However their leaders were cowards and old.

@fab050753 During 1939, The French Forces attacked Germany during the Saar advance. The Germans had no tanks and its main Forces in Poland yet France started to withdraw and go on the defence. The French said it would impossible for the Germans to use Tanks in the Ardennes, Yet their entire force of panzers were able to cross and cut the French main Army & BEF off. Entire French Forces gave up without a fight, Yes they were moslty concripts. At the end of the day, France did not want a fight.

So many people here don't respect all the French who died trying to stop an army which was unstoppable at the beginning of the conflict....I am pilot in the French Airforce and I know lots of stories about heroic behaviours of French soldiers who died for their allies..we declared war against Germany even if we knew that our army was inferior due to old strategical and tactical visions....don't forget that we destroyed 1290 German aircrafts and 1158 tanks...We lost 58 829 "coward" soldiers ...
