The best tank of WW1. First tank to have a revolving turret amd used extensively by the French and other armies in the Inter-War period. Although well obsolete by WW2, several independent battalions were used by the French.

Die Dinger hätte man lediglich umwerfen müssen. Ende Gelände!

@1in1universe The Allies, however, were the 1,900,000 French prisoners of war, in addition to the 90,000 French soldiers dead and 200,000 wounded, to which we must add the 68,111 British soldiers, 23,350 Belgians, 9,779 Dutch and Polish dead and 6,092 wounded. Practically annihilated the French army came up with over 2,292,000 casualties among its ranks!!!!

@1in1universe Between the French and English the forces of men were the same as that of the Germans, but differents were the weaponry and tactics that they did. You didn't have neither one nor the other, thinking that the Maginot Line would have been sufficient. In fact around 27,074 German soldiers were killed, to which must be added the 111,034 wounded and 18,384 missing, which leads to a total of 156,000 men.

@1in1universe At the time of the german offensive in France, Mussolini said: "I need a handful of deaths to go to the negotiating table like a winner." In fact, when the Germans have conquered you country, part of the French Savoie went to Italy. However i spoke of the incompetence of the French army and in fact the Germans have started the attack in April and in June were in Paris!

@1in1universe I don't understand what you mean. If Europe was liberated from the Nazis is only thanks to the Russians. The landing in Normandy was conducted in a hurry because otherwise the Russians would have taken even the whole Western Europe. However I was talking about the Italian army and not the Russian one and before I was saying that the French army was horrible. Without shilly-shally around that, i repeat again that was horrible

@1in1universe and you remember the disastrous war in Russia, which has been the downfall of the Third Reich, the only army remained undefeated was the italian "Alpini". After the victory of the Russians in their territories, Radio Moscow, in the advertisement, he quoted the value of this armada ever beaten. At Rossosh, the Russian city of my mother, there is a museum of this formidable Italian army.
