You're speaking like people who don't know history, France lost 1940 battle because the losses during WW1(more than 1,600 000 men, maybe futur fathers, in a country of 40 M.) and French Headquarters had same tactical view as WW1 , tanks fighting 3 by 3 when Nazi used 200 tanks together, no radios enough on battlefields and planes, but more than this, who held the line during British troops went back in UK (35000 French to stop 120000 germans around Dunkirk), none army even USA at this time, could beat germans and their new blitzkrieg, French air force destroyed nearly 800 Luftwaffe planes, so missing for battle of England, 40000 civilians of Normandy were killed during and after D-Day, US general Eisenhower told no possibility of the 1944 landing without resistance support and at the end of war when new French army was rebuilt around 400000 men, they fought hardly in east of France, first troop to reaches eagle's nest .... Battle of France 60000 French soldiers killed, 6000 British.....
