But, in conclusion can we say that the French Navy was negligible from a relevant maritime point of view in WWI and WWII? :!: The fighting was, as all the XXth Century, British (and her Commonwealth), American, Japanese and German. Well, and Russian as far as Tsushima goes. Yes we can, without any ...

The French army had some of the best tanks and fighters in the world in 1940. I love to talk about aircraft, tanks, etc but this is not the forum for it. :( I know soldiers individually did their best, just as the individual Italian did but they were facing a new form of warfare not seen before, an...

To sum up, i will also remember to the stupid guys, french or not french, that the losses daily of germans were greater than their losses in the Russia campaign from march 1941 to december 1941 ! Yep. From January 1942 until May 1945 (three + years, not 40 days) the Soviet Union and Great Britain w...

Re: Eh?!

I agree that Germany's long-standing enemy was France, but Germany hardly "always managed to defeat" France, if I read your post correctly. Napoleon certainly gave Prussia a good whipping (granted, there was no unified Germany back then, but Napoleon defeated the two most powerful German-...

Jean Bart vs Tirpitz isn't real. Richelieu vs Tirpitz is ! Richelieu 1940 (95%) vs Tirpitz or Bismarck, the german win because french shipyard didn't have enough time to install radar in 1940, and the french ship didn't try her main and secondary guns. Richelieu 1943 (after refit) vs Tirpitz : No wi...

The fact that French could have give a hand to German during the Operation Rheinübung was never proved, it is only a supposition :negative: . Some people also told that the French Battleship Richelieu coud leave Dakar to support Bismarck during his escape to brest. :shock: Curiously, these people fo...
