Who did he serve with?
Who as in what unit?
He was in the 7th Panzer Division - I don’t remember the regiment he was part of within the division though
I meant what branch of the Reich like SS or Wehrmacht or Luftwaffe etc. That's cool as heck
Ew germans
>the 7th
Yo
He was Heer, obvious from the unit.
The 7th Panzer Division was kinda overrated post war, basically just another unit out of hundreds
That’s not strictly true
Early war successes can’t be ignored
>France and Belgium
Like they really put up that much of a fight
Belgium true
France, well, blame the politicians and leaders
The troops fought for every inch
“Fought”
Not to mention had arguably better armor
>radio
>one man turrets
>didnt foughr
🆗 retard
France’s whole strategy was relying on Germany doing the same thing as in World War 1
Which, Germany called them on and *just went through the fucking forest*
That’s not up to the troops dude
Like I said, politicians and leaders
Free France was a thing after that
Free France on the other hand, uhhhh
Meh
Which was an insurgency and should have been prosecuted, not cooperated with.
France *surrendered*
They don’t have any sort of excuse for forming an insurgency, like the Polish did.
Woop Bir Hakeim
Still an insurgency.
That’s true actually
Huh
I’ve never thought of it like that
Good
Free France is essentially an illegitimate government propped up by western powers
