That depends very much Keesje, on whether or not you feel that its better to die on your feet than to live on your knees. In 1940, the Dutch opted for the latter. Luckily, the British preferred the former.
Mhhh, maybe that and a tad of salty water between the heroic brits and the not so heroic rest of the continent?
And by 'the Dutch opted' you mean they had a vote wether they wanted to kneel or fight?
BTW, the german airforce on the western front in 1940 was around 900 fighters, 220 destroyers, 1100 bombers and 320 divebombers strong, the Dutch had 140 airplanes all together.
Dutch ground troops: 8 infantry divisions, almost no tanks
German: 117 infantry divisions plus 6 motorized divisions, 10 tank divisions.
Hardly a match, don`t you think?
