Not to mention he was a weaboo.

You see it says US on his collar...
>>1362997
Which means Unités Speciales or Special Units, indicating De Gaulle's troubling learning disabilities.
>>1362701
A whole destroyer? Look, I get Canucks were brave fighters individually, but in the scale of the war, whinging about a single destroyer is asinine. It says something about the actual scale of Canada's force.
>>1362701
It was just a prank bro!

What did the allies mean by this?

The St. Naziaire raid was fucking awesome and disabled their dockyards and repair facilities for a long time.

Oh hey, turns out "not sending a platoon of Matildas", not shipping a fuckton of antitank RIFLES (yes, IJA armor was that shit), not giving you TOTALLY AWESOME COASTAL DEFENCES HE shells, relying on MOTHERFUCKING CHANCE as an early warning system as opposed to a network of informants and radios and "FUCK THE COLONIES, PROTECT THE HOME ISLANDS FIRST" was a recipe for disaster! You can't even fucking blame Percuval for this, that's all Churchill.
>>1363725
But the Second British Army was all the way up in Brussels-Antwerp. Patton had the First US Army pushing towards Bastogne at his north and the Seventh at Nancy pushing towards Karlsruhe at his south.
Anyways, if Patton was really a reincarnated Roman legionnaire (like he claimed), he'd have appreciated fortifications.
>>1363770
I was referencing Market Garden, where the fortifications would have became USELESS if Britain hadn't fucked it up so they could just go around and create a giant pocket which was the whole idea. What you posted is pretty irrelevant to the reference.
>>1363756
The Dieppe Raid, not the St.Nazaire
>>1363212
Canadians were the fourth largest Allied Army in Europe. It's not the destroyer, it was the fact it shouldn't have happened. They were attacking a lightly defended place, only to get their shit pushed in so hard that the navy got an ass raping.
>>1363811
Dieppe? That was Mountbatten.
Seriously, why did the Brits keep him.
>>1363811
Dieppe? That's Lord Louis "Let's build a carrier out of frozen sawdust" Mountbatten.

Has Patton become /his/'s FAMAS?
