My grampa was born in Poland in 1939 and My great uncle told that some civilians were entrenched with pitchforks waiting for the Blitzkrieg to arrive. Now that is bravery.

Edit:There's a differance between making fun of the Polish army when they had lack of funds and technology but a strong will to defend their homeland, and making fun of the French who had technology and a large army and turn tailed an ran at the sight of a swatztica

What? they turned tail and ran?

They were caught with their pants down. Most of their armour was too sparse out to actually put up any real menthod of defense. They just went around the Maginot line and attacked from the weak flanks. German military doctrine and tactics were brilliant, nobody had a way of countering the blitzkrieg. France held the Germans off alot longer than Poland did.

In less than a year after invading Poland, the axis powers invaded and occupied Norway, Denmark, Poland, France and Somoliland (along with other african territories). They've conquered continental europe (excluding the USSR) in a little over a year.

yeah Innoxx is right, there were only a few non-German generals who embraced armored warfare before WWII, but they were usually tld to shut up

Patton (US)
Fuller (UK)
Zhukov (USSR)
Tuhatchevsky (sp?) (USSR, shot by Stalin)
