smallest?

2020-02-09 23:12:10 UTC  

He drew the Oder Neiße line

2020-02-09 23:12:16 UTC  

stalin and beria were animals; a product of their time

2020-02-09 23:12:26 UTC  

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

2020-02-09 23:12:39 UTC  

One half is called Guben, the other Gubin

2020-02-09 23:12:48 UTC  

they completely missed almost every meaningful defense situation they could make

2020-02-09 23:13:09 UTC  

they went in YOLO into belgium and germany just flanked them

2020-02-09 23:13:10 UTC  

and they were still using basically ww1 doctrine

2020-02-09 23:13:51 UTC  

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

2020-02-09 23:14:11 UTC  

Combat effectiveness of the French was best towards the end

2020-02-09 23:14:27 UTC  

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

2020-02-09 23:14:27 UTC  

tbf sickle cut was a giant risk

2020-02-09 23:14:32 UTC  

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

2020-02-09 23:15:03 UTC  

They let themselves be overrun and continued fighting whilst encircled basically

2020-02-09 23:15:06 UTC  

I can't blame them for not expecting it

2020-02-09 23:15:06 UTC  

Idk how they did it

2020-02-09 23:15:20 UTC  

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

2020-02-09 23:15:52 UTC  

spread out armor and motor vs concentrated one

2020-02-09 23:16:07 UTC  

Not even that

2020-02-09 23:16:10 UTC  

they also had more fuel, tanks and motors

2020-02-09 23:16:14 UTC  

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

2020-02-09 23:16:15 UTC  

French kept most in reserve

2020-02-09 23:16:41 UTC  

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

2020-02-09 23:16:57 UTC  

was true in France

2020-02-09 23:16:57 UTC  

Germans using the concentrated approach

2020-02-09 23:17:08 UTC  

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

2020-02-09 23:17:20 UTC  

which the baguettes didnt have

2020-02-09 23:17:24 UTC  

France spread ouf it's tanks evenly

2020-02-09 23:17:55 UTC  

Germany concentrated basically all of it in the Ardennes forces

2020-02-09 23:18:38 UTC  

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

2020-02-09 23:18:41 UTC  

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

2020-02-09 23:18:50 UTC  

and cut off their reinforcments

2020-02-09 23:18:52 UTC  

@Mr. Nessel I liked you better when you were a leaf

2020-02-09 23:19:00 UTC  

Now u look gay

2020-02-09 23:19:16 UTC  

It's black Mozart in a Hazmat suit

2020-02-09 23:19:17 UTC  

didnt the SS have storm trooper regiments

2020-02-09 23:19:17 UTC  

not really

2020-02-09 23:19:27 UTC  

I will return to leafkind eventually

2020-02-09 23:19:35 UTC  

stormtroopers were way more relevant in ww2

2020-02-09 23:20:38 UTC  

Idk. Their role had been taken over by tanks. In WW1 stormtroopers and infiltration tactics were vital for the central powers

2020-02-09 23:21:05 UTC  

depends
