>nazis invade France

>they lose after fighting for a month, yet continue to fight in the form of their exile government and in the French resistance

LOL FUCKING SURRENDER MONKEYS! FAGGOTS!

>Nazis invade Denmark

>after 6 hours, the Danish government completely gives and and willingly becomes Hitlers bitch for the duration of the war


So how come no one give the Danes as much shit as the French?
>>

Next time you would shit on Romania or something?
>>
>>914026

Because the French had one of the largest and best equipped armies in the world, and Denmark had been a tiny irrelevancy since the eternal Anglo got them.

France was a great power that's why.

Because more Frenchies surrendered to the Nazi regime, and then joined them.

I doubt Denmark had much of an army at the time and even if they had a standing army they would have stood no chance against Germany. France gets so much shit because no one at the time was expecting France to lose to Germany that quickly

Scene from a Danish movie about the invasion, I enjoyed this scene a lot. The tactics felt very realistic or at least more grounded in reality than Hollywood depictions.
>>
>>914026
because the french had more tanks, more fighter planes and a sturdy defense line... They only surrendered because the army high command hated the politicians and loved the nazis... The danes had hardly any army to speak of...

because the danes did not have the Maginot line witch was claimed to be the hottest defense system on earth..... too bad the Germans went threw the Ardennes forest (french thought tanks would not make it threw the dense forest)
>>
>>914026
Massive army, massive defense infrastructure, former bully of Europe.

An outdated doctrine and shifty politicians rendered all that useless.

We got dickslapped real hard and it was unexpected.

But a shitload of soldiers got rekt during the invasion, it is dishonnest to say they did not put up any fight.

Resistance was exagerated in the post war years to rebuild trust in a broken nation and state. They mostly did sabotage and spy shit anyway; in such a scenario, ambushing a couple of infantry men in useless compared to disrupting logistics and collecting intelligence.
>>
No one gives anyone any shit except the French, and that's because since the end of WW2 France has been the only Western country to conduct a foreign policy independently from the United States, and on a few rare occasions opposing the United States.

Everyone else is just parroting American memes like a good goy.

We sort of handed over that title to Sweden after the Kalmar union failed and the 30 years was the final nail in the coffin.

>>914044
France was outnumbered by Germany 2 to 1 and had a badly outdated military.

>>914114
The only thing the BEF contributed to the war effort was making the French army probably lose time babysitting them back to Britain after they started retreating almost immediately.

>>914119
Complete myth. Everyone knew the Germans would go through Belgium, that was in fact the point of the Maginot Line.
>>
>>914196
> Everyone knew the Germans would go through Belgium, that was in fact the point of the Maginot Line
so, basically, french were just stupid?
>>
>>914026
Didn't the Danish even go as far as blow up their own fleet?
Also, Bravo for them. Their cities didn't end up becoming bombed out, concrete lean-to sheds.
>>
>>914231
The point was to make sure the Germans would go through Belgium, thus freeing up troops that could be used to protect the Northern border instead of having to spread them out.

The reason the Maginot Line wasn't extended to the border with Belgium was that it would have seemed like France was abandoning Belgium to Germany, which was seen as unchivalrous.
>>
>>914252
ok but how is it possible that french were taken by surprise if they knew that germans would pass through belgium?
>>
>>914026
>914026
>french becomes finances bitch
>danes become free
>>
>>914264
They weren't taken by surprise, that's what I'm saying that's a myth.

The reason the Germans won is speed. Germany had fully motorised infantry while France didn't even have a single proper armored division. You often hear people say that French tanks were technologically superior and more modern because they had better cannons and shit, and that's true but irrelevant, because the German tanks were faster. Once they broke through the French lines with overwhelming concentrated force, the French just couldn't catch up.

Of course it's shocking to see them raped in a month

Meanwhile, what has Denmark ever accomplished?
When there are no expectations, there is no dissapointment
>>
>>914332
American and British tanks were faster than German tanks, especially the American M18 Hellcat tank destroyer (France had nothing like that, but of course there had been a lot of advancements by the time the US arrived on the European theatre). But the real war took place in the East of course, and coincidentally the Russians had the fastest tanks of all.

>>914283
>Germany had fully motorised infantry while France didn't even have a single proper armored division
Germany never had fully motorised infantry and France was motorised to higher degree than Germany.
The division thing is a question whether you consider a cavalry(motorised) division with armoured brigade to be armoured or you need to call it "armoured" otherwise you don't know what it is.
>that's true but irrelevant, because the German tanks were faster.
yes, forget about shitty operational range, unreliability, lack of visibility, over-stretched TC function, manufacturing being spread over several different companies which ended up in some tanks of the same model having to use different spares, shit radio or no radio at all etc. etc.

The most modern French tank - S-35 had all mentioned issues. And it was hailed as MODERN AS FUCK by French.

I'll tell you what happened in France.

Germans went through Ardennes. Gigantic traffic jams ensured but allied airforce, focused on "interdiction" didn't care enough to completely destroy them here, but tried to destroy bridges and roads further down Germany. They didn't even succeeded at this task. Then the traffic jams were unloaded as more troops passed through and best allied divisions, all in Belgium already didn't had ANY reserves to send here because they thought that for some reason airforce will cut them off supplies.

That's how Germans won.
>>914352
TD doctrine was a complete disaster, Americans were better off doing what they've did in the end anyway - equipping Shermans with M1A1 anti-tank gun. They could've been doing it earlier but... yeah, MUH TD's.

You're also commiting a terrible mistake of mixing tactical mobility(speed) with operational mobility(speed, reliability, logistical system, numerous other things).

German population was about 20-30 times that of the Danish, and Denmark had even fewer natural ressources as Germany.

Not to mention, by the time war was declared, German troops were landing in the Danish Capital via merchant ships.

french went in war with austria during napoleonic time, germany still didn't exist back then
>>
>>914283
>Germany had fully motorised infantry
Actually no! The French army was way more motorized and mechanized than the Germans at the time (and funnily enough also later in the war as they rode on US equipment).

Also the French did have actual armored divisions. Just not a lot and they could not do much when faced with German air supremacy.

there were no such thing as "germany" before the late 1800, there was prussia and it didn't have a rilevant rivalities with france.

prussia engaged war with france because she was taking all over in europe, not for historical rivalities.

again, england was france's biggest rival until mid 1800.

france helped the US during independence war and basically was the most important factor the contributed to free US from UK, also competed with UK for north america.

and during middle age went in war against england for 100 fucking years, in the probably longer war of history.

>you mean other than the Saratoga campaign? Or the western campaign? Or the battle over New Jersey? (Trenton, Assunpink Creek, Millstone)

I hope you're aware that all of that was accomplished with weapons, ammos and uniforms the French supplied

The truth is, the 13 colonies would never have earned their freedom without French intervention -- the whole battle for American independence was essentially a proxy war between Britain and France.

France began providing arms and ammunition as early as 1776. In early 1777, months before Saratoga, the French sent American colonists 25,000 uniforms and pairs of boots, hundreds of cannons, and thousands of muskets -- all stuff that the colonists would've had a hard time surviving without, and all stuff they had no access to on their own.

France provided a whopping 90 percent of the rebels' gunpowder. Without France, the entire American Revolution would have devolved into a bunch of dudes swinging their muskets as clubs within weeks.

Still, the most important French contribution to the revolution was the least visible to Americans. As mentioned, the reason France pampered the Patriots was always selfish. They were out to weaken the British forces -- particularly their naval strength -- in order to take the fight to them, perhaps even conquer them. That's why, for much of the Revolutionary War, the British ships tasked with kicking America's ass had to survive 12 rounds with the French navy before they could even think of crossing the Atlantic. France gleefully fought the British, eventually teaming up with Spain, declaring a war, attacking from all sides, and even setting up an invasion force.

So, when the Colonial army was fighting for dear freedom, history books tend to conveniently forget that they did so with French money, equipment, and backup forces, while France and its other allies were busy pummeling the empire from every other side.

> It was not just that the people of Denmark refused to assist in implementing the Final Solution, as the peoples of so many other conquered nations had been persuaded to do (or had been eager to do) — but also, that when the Reich cracked down and decided to do the job itself it found that its own personnel in Denmark had been infected by this and were unable to overcome their human aversion with the appropriate ruthlessness, as their peers in more cooperative areas had.

It's not an invasion when the country being attacked declared war first. In that case it's called a pre-emptive strike because said country started the agressions against the other country first.

And there was no "french exile government" after case yelllow. You had some oddball criminals who fled to London and set up an office where they claimed the french president's seat (kinda like the "syrian opposition" abroad nowadays lol) but de facto this was of no diplomatic significance.

The etat francais/vichy cabinet was the rightful french government, which is also why all the french colonial possessions were transfered to it. Please educate yourself before spreading these tumblrite half-truths.

Napoleon basically conquered Europe with pre-emptive strikes

McNair had a reason for a dedicated tank destroyer units, but they're too complex to explain here, suffice it to say TD doctrine was not pants on head retarded as you imply - it was focused on creating a rapid response brigade that could be sent anywhere on the front where they needed to bolster it against an armored attack. When it came to this, they were VERY successful, the problem was there weren't enough TD brigades to go around.

The reason it took so long for the 76mm gun to end up in the Sherman is primarily because BuOrd had a 'battlefield need' dimension to tanks since McNair put his foot down to prevent the US from manufacturing a fucking medley of different models, most of which were utter garbage.

There's a lot of reasons why the Sherman has such a bad reputation now (Wehraboos and Cyka Blats) but I could create a whole thread about it.

American TD's also ended up being used as artillery pieces alongside their usual role.

>Russians had the fastest tanks

If you consider the obsolete as fuck by 1940 BT-7s as relevant, then yes, yes they did.

In part because the Danes actually got 90% of the Jews in their country smuggled out to Sweden.

Also, their resistance was ballsy as fuck.

by 1940 those would not be obsolete at all, remember that the vast majority of all tanks deployed by all sides at that time would be "pz2-3 tier" so to speak, from, well, from pz2s and early 3s to pz-38 or 35 or t26s or the bt series....

Lol, ok. Forget about Napoleon getting cucked hard by us Brits, forget about us literally owning half your country in the middle ages, forget about us cucking you out of India at Plassey.

You mean when Russians and Germans defeated him while you were hiding on your island like the coward you are?

>forget about us literally owning half your country in the middle ages
You mean when the French family ruling England was engaged in a civil war with the French family ruling France?

>forget about us cucking you out of India at Plassey.
Lmao, Brits are so desperate for military achievements against civilized people they have to claim a battle against some backward Indian tribe with 50 French advisors (while total forces were numbering in the thousands on each side) as an epic victory against France

You Brits are truly the most pathetic people out there
It's no wonder we raped you so hard (with some little help from France but we couldnt have done it alone anyway) in 1776

Implying that the frenchs gourvernement was against hitler , Marechal Petin read some fact about it before you open you open your yanky hore mouth OP

Because people expected more out of France than Denmark.

France held their own well in the first world war, so they expected something similar in the second. When they did not, there was a collective shocked outrage. This was negated by Russia's surprise strength.

He put his foot down to prevent the US from manufacturing garbage tanks so garbage M10 TD could be manufactured instead.

If it wasn't for it I'd say that it wasn't that inane, but the reality is that the only TD that was actually good was M36 and that's because it sported gun Sherman couldn't*, which was the entire purpose of that class.

*without sacrifices in gun depression
