Who is me cought with my pants down. As far as i know i wasn't bory until 40 years after the war was over. And even if i was alive then, I am an american so i didn't get caught with my pants down until Japan attacked Pearl 2 years latter.
Yes you were facing the Blitzkrieg, a new tactic hitler was using, for the PAST 5 YEARS. Number two the French forces could have easily defeated Germany if they acted when they should have. Even when Hitler Invaded it was a fairly farfetched scheme to win. and should have been pushed back if your commanders had acted with competence. French and British forces were in Belgum not near it. The Incompetance was so clear to british forces that they actually just let you run off on your own continuing northward like the dumbasses that you were and got ready to cross the channel at Dunkirk. France should have seen the attack comming when they saw the rest of europe fall to Germany. And really should have seen that germany wasn't stupid enough to try to go through the Magino(spelling wrong) line but would go around it. Following the almost exact path they used in WWI. Latter in the war you acted bravely and honorably with great competince. but this failing almost brought about the fall of britan as well as france in a period of two months. That is the mother of all fuckups.
The lack of combined action against germany early was both the fault of France and Britan, true. And America probably should have gotten more involved sooner, but we had FDR as president, and he wan't going to take any action like that. He was to busy trying to socialize all of america. And all of us were trying to stay out of a second world war. The problem is if germany had been treated appropiratly in the first place it we could have avoided the war altogether. Once again everyones fault. That does not mean that France didn't act completly incompetiently when the war came to them.
