Oh well it's history now

it was complete lunacy

Poles will continue being mad at Germany and Germany won't bring up Oder Neiße

The French High command was lunacy as well

poland delenda est
made by NAZBOL gang

the french high command actively refused to use radios for fear germany could listen to them

Too bad Stalin was too Georgian to be racist

Tfw no red fascism

that was their smallest concern @vexmasina44

Honestly despise Stalin though

smallest?

He drew the Oder Neiße line

stalin and beria were animals; a product of their time

I actually have relatives at a split town at the current border

One half is called Guben, the other Gubin

they completely missed almost every meaningful defense situation they could make

they went in YOLO into belgium and germany just flanked them

and they were still using basically ww1 doctrine

Afaik their ideas were reasonable given their circumstances and they adapted, though too slowly

Combat effectiveness of the French was best towards the end

france never got a chance to hold the line until a mobilization could be completed

tbf sickle cut was a giant risk

Because the overcame the issue of overrun supply lines with a new tactic

They let themselves be overrun and continued fighting whilst encircled basically

I can't blame them for not expecting it

Idk how they did it

french tanks were actually superior to the german ones, they even managed to achieve several victories but alas the game was rigged from the start

spread out armor and motor vs concentrated one

Not even that

they also had more fuel, tanks and motors

the french aircraft and anti aircraft defence was atrocius however, the luftwaffe demolished them without a sweat

French kept most in reserve

The spread out vs. concentrated issue is more prominent on the eastern front if I remember correctly

was true in France

Germans using the concentrated approach

its not even being spread out, its about having an airforce to cover the gaps and assist the tanks/infantry

which the baguettes didnt have

France spread ouf it's tanks evenly

Germany concentrated basically all of it in the Ardennes forces

the french went all in into belgium and netherlands while the entire german army flanked them and destroyed their supply depots

The one thing regrettable about tanks is that stormtroopers became less relevant
