An excellent presentation demonstrating Mark Gerse's expertise on the campaign which he uses brilliantly to debunk the myths that have often been accepted as fact .

Excellent lecture!! I learned a lot considering I’ve been an amateur warfare historian for 47 years.

More people on the chats should see this before making comments about "French Cowardice". I wish he could have said more on the air campaign and French fighter production. Good job for the time alotted.

Very interesting. I don't think anyone could have predicted such an outcome for France at the beginning of WWII.

1,6 millions victims in WW1 for the French, not 450 000.....

+gauloiscalifornien No! 1,5 millions victims killed directly on the battlefield+ 3 millions of victims just after the war....(injury,poisoning by gas....).

the second slide in his lecture has the French total dead for WW1 as 450,000, and he refers to it .The French dead figure was 1.4 million. some "expert"
