No, Hitler's autism saved GB. He let the Allies escape because he wanted his Anglo-Saxon 'brothers' in Great Britain to join the Axis powers.

Hitler never intended to invade or even fight Britain to begin with, he always wanted the Brits to join him in his conquest of Russia.

He sent 160,000 men to their deaths to destroy your sorry excuse for a country. Your people didn't even defend your capital city, how disgraceful.

Not sure if trolling, or just massively retarded.

Yeah I guess you're right, I would surrender too if I was as bad at fighting wars as France is.

It's funny how the only time France was ever good at war was when they were led by a Corsican, lol.

Wait a second, why is WWI up there? France made the most sacrifice of any allied nation in that war and showed a great amount of defiance and courage. Also, when it comes to Vietnam, let's not pretend the U.S. does any better.  Also, French are kinda the reason your beloved 'Murica is a nation but I guess that's niether here nor there.

Well, it is true that Hitler didn't want to fight the British because he considered them to be a good Germanic ally. He also admired how the British were running India. Hitler thought the Americans more dangerous than the French, but hated the French more than the Americans because of the various wars between France and German states and because he felt France was slowly becoming non-European.


This page goes into more detail, even though I dislike Wikipedia, I find this article spot on.

The French kinda got shitted on the first half of the first world war, and would've almost definitely lost had the US not intervened.

And rofl don't compare France and the USA in Vietnam. The USA never lost a pitched battle against the NVA. We pulled out because the # of casualties was not worth the cause. France on the other hand was literally defeated by a third world army. I mean why does France even have a military if it is literally such a shitty country

Oh yes a Germany has such a perfect history and  a superior country to France 100% no bad history at all....France surrendered and Germany didn't and look what fucking happened to it. And the US did piss all in the Great War. It was France, Canada and the United Kingdom that did the brunt of the fighting, ever heard of Verdun?

Germany is a much more prosperous country than France is now if that's what you meant. Atleast the German people have the balls to defend their own capital city

And yes, the western front was a stalemate until the US intervened. Quit pretending we didn't save your shite countries both world wars lol

I'm not gonna jump in here, and as an American, say that I would support the French over the Germans. :P No hard feelings Germany, but France and the US have a long history of good relations. They helped us gain independence after all and we inspired their revolution to overthrow the French monarch.

Vive la France!
