I now pretty well the story of the second world war, especially concerning my own country. French defeat in 1940 was just a real shame and pain, suffering and disgrace for the whole nation. Equipment was far better than the German's one, including planes and tanks. French soldiers fought - for those who did - very bravely (so did some Italian troops on the Russian front) so PLEASE STOP THE CLICHES. JUST ONCE,OK? French army lost ONLY because of the headquarters and the chain of command, that still think the same way as in 1914-18. Do you know that the French Army headquarters in Vincennes Fort, had no radio, nor even telephone connection with the troops? Do you know that? Do you know that there was nearly no, of at the best clumsy communication between the troops? Do you know that? Germans, on the contrary, were MODERN in their way of fighting, they had a very good equipment - but not better than ours, rather a bit less - and especially very well trained. German officials and military heads were not the same as the French. So, back to this film, we can watch it as a pure amusement, but we never lose, what I just said, out of sight. Please, in memory for those who fought for France. And the braves who died.
