The simple fact of the matter is in a straight out war between France & a united Germany, France loses.
France was the most powerful military force on the continent of Europe because its population was the largest but once Germany was united its population was the largest & to top it off the Germans industrialised faster as well.

The defeats in 1940 no country could have stopped the Germans were just way ahead of their time, the simple fact of the matter though is that in WW1 France lost nearly two million men & it takes a lot of balls to do that for five fucking years.

My wee sister can be a bit disturbed at times. My computer is now passworded 6 ways from sunday from the BIOS up. AND she can fix he own fucking computer. She has been all through my stuff and caused my reputation a lot of damage.

For what it's worth i shoulda had made my msn ask for a password instead of auto-logging on. I appologise for any offence caused.

Actually Germany developed its most effective and advanced toys (Tiger, Panther, Me-262, Type XXI, V1+2, MG-42, STG-44) during the war, they entered the war with average equipment, yet they deployed new tactics that the other forces first needed to adapt to.

", yet they deployed new tactics that the other forces first needed to adapt to."

That is what i meant when i said they were ahead of their time though to be honest rapid concentration of military strength at a single point in the battle isn't that new. Alexander the great was one of the first i think!
Oops kind of shot my point in the foot, fuck it!

Cause i'm not talking about today Europe doesn't have wars anymore. However if in some alternative history we were still a bunch of bastards then Germany is always gonna have an advantage, statistics!
