World War II, Western Front 1940, Every Hour 

It was fast As fak boi

Vichy France?

@m Zaki Banyu , Yes, it is the official name of this state. Vichy France is only a commonly used term.

You had to do every hour since France got sweeped in a record time of 103 days.

@@henryworks9089 France and her allies (Dutch, BEF, Belgians and Luxemburgers) ... France was representing "only" 65 to 70% of the ground forces... BEF which was the alone professiuonal army has been beaten as easily of the so called "cowards" French... BTW the CESM as some of the anglo-saxons (mostly the ignorants) like to refer to us, managed in Lille and in Dunkirk perimeter to resist enough time at a high cost at 10 and somewhere 20 to 1 to permit BEF to reimbark. That IS the most IMPORTANT point there. BEF is the ALONE argument that permits Churchill to impose his only will to continue the fight, it's easy after war to rewrite History, but if France and her allies have been Thrashed (which I don't deny), they fought bravely AND most UK leaders wanted to sue for peace : Churchill was in minority as Chamberlain and Lord Halifax were pressuring him to release the power and give up. it has been proven that british officials (without Churchill consentment) have secretly asked to Germans what would be the term of peace of their own... Without BEF, it 90% sure that Churchill gov would have fallen and that Halifax (or Chamberlain, but highly unprobable), named new prime ministre, he would have negociated a neutral peace. For a comparison, the despised french cowards (despised by some of the anglo-saxons) lost in six weeks of the campaign of Low countries and France more soldiers than in Verdun 1916 (at his harsher time) the same amount of time... Not so coward finally... French were ill prepared, bad leaded, but they did fight and locally, a bunch of french soldiers gave a fierce fight despite a total superiority of the enemy in term of tactics, number, materials, weapons etc... Many german Generals recognised that the French and the Belgians soldiers at their place gave it all but it was simply not enough. most of prisoners about 90ù of them have been done after the call of petain to stop the fight on radio the 17th of June. French soldiers stopped the fight that day when the armistice was effective the 22nd, BTW the germans, against the terms of the armistice continued to take many prisoners after the 22nd... French army didn't loose 2 millions of prisoners in fight, but far less than 200k, Germans took 2 millions to have some hostages and put pressure on France and avoid her to take the arms again. Armistice is end of armed hostilities not end of war... For another comparison, french air force has been destroyed at about 65% of its capacities, on the ground the 10 and 11th may. The last fighters on totally outclassed MS 406 gave many fights against 6 to 8 BF 109 (far more modern), they inflicted in six weeks about the same amounts of destruction to luftwaffe that the RAF did in three months during the Blitz in summer 1940. Luftwaffe lost to france and her allies about 40% of her strength, 3/4 of this losses were due to french air force. Luftwaffe missed alot these losses when they began their attack on Britain. Also, half of the german tanks were destroyed or out of order. Numbers easily findable on the net, whatever the nationality of the Historians, they told germans did a ruch, a costly one, a costly win, a terrific win. Another element can explain the german efficiency, they did take drugs to fight harsh and not sleep (another fact proven), it wasn't the case for the allies... To finish, if the WWI was mainly a french victory with the help (not negligeable) of her allies (I count even Russia despite the defeat, the german soldiers lost there count), WWII was mainly the victory of the Red Army with the help (neither negligeable) of their allies. Also, France had 2 equipped armies on the field in end of 1944, fighting alongside the allies, more than 1 million of fighters which is not nothing. 1 army had the missions to take the french ports stubbornly kept by Wehrmacht and french armoured first army which was fighting on the rhine border. If fighting free french were not numerous, France would have never been "invited" at the victory table as a winner... French expeditionary corp then French 1st army and 2nd armoured div took participated greatly in the breakthrough in italy (Mount Belvedere victroy permitting the fall of both the Monte cassion and the Gustav line), then Paris liberation, Operation Dragoon (liberation of Marseille, Toulon and south and east of France), then the offensin the Ruhr (partly) and the black forest (entirely) till Berchtesgaden (eagle nest). And in Bir hakeim 1942, the french stubborn defense saved the 8th army of Montgomery and Egyp, Suez canal etc... (dixit General Alexander, Churchill, Montgomery, Rommel and numerous other chiefs or leaders). We French have to be ashamed that french leaders did give up at the first difficulties, and I reassure you, we are ashamed of that, but we have to keep in mind that once the schock passed and the French was just about to think alittle of "recovering", they did fight their best after the terrific defeat of 1940. You can't imagine what occupation means in french collective thought. whatever if you had any idea of it, you would surely understand why the French were sos tubborn to build their own nuke deterrence. Better mutual destruction than another occupation.

Soldiers still need to sleep after all. And they don't have night vision equipment at that time.

@@SVASH-hz5ji The germans had night vision equipment. But they were only used late in the war, i think.

The Germans were also using pervatin to make it possible to fight for 3 days straight

@@DAinv. Even then it was very limited and mainly used on tanks and afvs because it was quite heavy

no, it's because the german army have to wait for the infantry; if you were a little bit smarter you'd know that, it's imposible for humans to go this fast the motorized infantry and panzers were in the fornt line pushing once they did it ; they had to wait until the infantry came, it sometimes took days

@@R4in46 man also was given orders to execute Jewish people and other minorities, and also to send people from his command back to concentration camps because they were "Subhuman" and his subordinates loved him because he would notoriously burn the orders in front of SS representatives and then allegedly suggested killing him would lose them the war so he kept getting away with it until Hitler himself ordered him to kill himself because even though he was in a plot to assassinate hitler, he was too famous and beloved to put on trial.

Correct me if I'm wrong but Hitler telling Rommel to stop was the main reason Brits got away from Dunkirk in first place. Otherwise it would have been a very brutal and dirty massacre.

ah yes, war

Shake My Hand

Interesting, mayors refusing passage to the resistance shows how well the European elites were prepared to collaborate with the Nazis all along.

@@sinekonata Not exactly. It's more that they wanted to protect their town from unecessary destructions.

Interestingly, Italy had a fascist dictatorship before Germany. It created the concept of fascism which the Nazis were then inspired by. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_Party#Origins_and_early_years:_1918%E2%80%931923 > Hitler was inspired by Mussolini and the Fascists, borrowing their use of the straight-armed salute as a Nazi salute. When the Fascists came to power in 1922 in Italy through their coup attempt called the "March on Rome", Hitler began planning his own coup. The world "Fascism" comes from "Fasces", which was the symbol used on the flag of the Italian party named after it, the "National Fascist Party". So Italy invented the concept of fascism, the word "fascism" itself, and inspired the Nazi party's ideologies (Nazis weren't always fascists, that wasn't until a group overthrew some prominent members and made it fascist). So in a way, Italy would be more like a "dad" and Germany was the hyperactive son that convinced his dad to join in with his games.

Ye, Battle of Abbeville

We did it boys. Nazi Germany is no more.

Now it makes sense how they all got trapped. How would you even organize an orderly retreat that fast?

This really got out of hand fast.

Maginot line

“Resist and bite”

It's not really small pockets of resistance from the allies, rather than encirclement tactics from the germans. And at Dunkerke, they picked retreat over trying to break the encirclement... though the french and english commandemnts disagreed on that point. So much for refusing to give up 😁! Though it is true that some forts from the Maginot line did refuse to stop fighting even after commandment told them to stop fighting.

Nope. Germany had the best army, and our generals probably weren't so bad. Some of the french equipment was more advanced, but not in enough numbers to make a difference... and it lacked some essential technology, like freaking radios ! Overall, Germany army was superior. That superiority alone wouldn't have been enough for them to win though. It didn't during WW1. The war was mostly lost by politicians, terrible geostrategic decisions, and the internal conflicts between UK and France.

@@Harold046 The top French general gets an "F" - failure! It didn't help that the lowland countries wouldn't allow the French and British armies into their countries until they were already over run. The French Army actually fought well, the strategy and tactics the French employed (from the Generals) were there downfall. After Dunkirk, even the politicians were ready to surrender. The German politican (Hitler) gets a "D" - dumbass! The BEF and a good portion of the French army could have been destroyed at Dunkirk.

They won't

@@hegoney5841 thanks

@Typed Scroll I don't see why you're smirking. Fascists get the wall in the end.

Do you mean the Luxembourgish? Also all three of the Dutch defensive lines had fallen and they were threatening to terror bomb all their cities if they kept fighting.

Согласен

same about me being italian and knowing about 43-45

@Thorwin de Gothia no, far less important, it wasn't a total war, it was just a little war with one single battle. The french guy who led thé troop thought himself as a Napoléon but not at all. In my head this was an almost insignifiant defeat

c'est vrai ça; La France a beaucoup subit la guerre de 1870 c'est rester en mémoire

@Thorwin de Gothia Yes, well I confess I don't know much about it, it might be a reason haha But yes I know for Napoléon III. I think he was thé Nephew of Napoléon I. He thought himself as having the same battle skills. He was elected président, but then made a coup and declared himself Emperor. But then I think he got captured at the first battle. Victor Hugo used to piss on him.

Yes, when I made this video, I didn't know the rules that blue is a defender and red is an attacker. I just liked the two colors I used.

Yes, there are some unwritten rules that the attacker is usually red and the defender blue, or red is the loser and the blue is the winner. But personally, I don't think it matters.

It was french soldier who was holding the line like in Lille

@@dacstan5175 Ok maybe, then this was somewhere else, shouldnt have presented a guess as a fact I admit it.

The French lost in just 44 days due to generals not evolving from ww1 strategies

LoL 😀😀

In hoi4 I think the reason why France capitulates after Paris falls is because of the disjointed government thing

National Spirit, disjointed government. It lowers France's surrender limit to holding 80% of Victory Points. Making them capitulate once they hold 79%>VP.

If you're a player, you have basic understanding of history and therefore will be better prepared to the German attack; So they made it easier for Germany

Thank you for spreading my work and for the book. I have the impression that I also used something from it. Part of it can be found on google books, where a few pages are available.
