“Sir we’re fighting a two front war” “I know, it’s awful isn’t it? They’re surrounding us in Dunkirk in the north and on the Seine in the south” “No I mean we’re getting attacked in the Alps” “Oh, we are?”
-
Interesting enough there was also a second Siege of Dunkirk that started with the Normandy breakout in 1944. The Germans trapped held out till May 1945.

I want to talk with that French HQ. let me tell them one or two things on how to win against a superior army.
-
I study WWI way more than WWII and you hear these river and place names that the Germans took in weeks that 25 years before they were fought over 4 years. It's insane
-
Imagine burning to death in a tank only for the history books to recall your effort as a completely ineffective counterattack.

"Germany found itself in a war with Britain and France." Well, I guess that's one way to put it.

Meanwhile HoI4 players: "Can we simply drop paratroopers on their core states?"

French general: I can't see any menace to our country except germans. French soldier: Sir the Italians are attacking us. French General: I can't see any menace to our country except Germans.

"If you build an army of 100 lions, and their leader is a dog, in any fight the lions will die like a dog. But if you build an army of 100 dogs and their leader is a Lion, all dogs will fight as a lion. " - Napoleon Bonaparte

French history books say the worst inferiority of our army was not in guns, in planes or even in tanks, but in the brains of our generals. The French had always intended to let the German attack first, yet the drive into Belgium and Holland meant the Army was left with no reserve whatsoever against a possible German breakthrough. If the front was pierced for any reason, there was nothing to stop the German from driving anywhere they wanted. On May 13th, men panicked under air bombardment. They barely fought at all, they simply abandonned their guns and fled. On May 15th, generals ordered a full retreat, but the troops didn't withdraw in good order and they were all overrun. After that it only took five more days for the German to drive 300km to the coast... By June 5th the troops had recovered enough to make a last stand on the Somme, but by then the German had such an advantage in numbers that it was over in three days. Interesting trivia: the French 4th Armored Division, the one that did something, was commanded by then-colonel Charles de Gaulle.

French in the Alps: "You guys had ONE job, don't lose the northern line. ONE JOB."

I am really curious to find out how you traced all division movements. I would be very interested to watch a video of you explaining the "making of" these map videos. Would be awesome!
