puerile schoolboy humour, ignoring the fact that the UK only survived because of a 21 mile wide moat. How many reverse gears were used getting to Dunkirk?
Getting back to the French claims, it does beg irony.
They had plenty of troops and weapons in 1940, but they didn’t have the will to fight for their own homes. I’ll take the views of our European ‘allies’ seriously when Germany can field a fully equipped and operationally experienced division, and they start pulling their weight (Netherlands, Poland & Estonia excepted).
