ack-ack Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 I'm sure that the 60000 members of the French resistance alone that were killed by the Nazi's are laughing away at this moment. I guarantee they're not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumpy Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 I'm sure that the 60000 members of the French resistance alone that were killed by the Nazi's are laughing away at this moment.And lets not mess about with them today-they could crush us with their superior forces-you can thank a constant raping of our armed forces,by successive governments,for this. Why stop at the armed forces our government's have been raping our whole country for years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAVAGE HMR Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 all they needed were the remains of a cheese eating surrender monkey sat in the fetal position in the corner clutching a white flag, would have made a believer out of me. The French aren't that bad are they? I cant really think of any French surrender jokes. Wait. . . . . . Maybe one or two . . . . . . Why do the French have glass bottom boats in their Navy? To see all their other ships. What did the mayor of Paris say to the German army as they entered the city in World War II? 'Table for 100,000, monsieur?' Why are the French afraid of war? You would be, too, if you had never won one. How do you stop a French army on horseback? Turn off the carousel. Did you hear about the French admiral who wanted to be buried at sea when he died? Five sailors died digging his grave. What's the best thing about being French? You can surrender at the beginning of the war and somebody else will win it for you. 'I would rather have a German division in front of me than a French one behind me.' General George S. Patton. How do the French advertise surplus World War II rifles for sale? 'Never fired, only dropped once.' What does the new French flag look like? A white cross emblazoned on a white background. What's the shortest book ever written? French War Heroes. What's the second shortest book ever written? French war victories. What is the first thing the French Army teaches at basic training? How to surrender in at least ten languages. What is the most useful thing in the French Army? A rear-view mirror, so they can see the war. Why does Nike like the French Army? Because in wartime they are the biggest buyers of running shoes. Why did the French celebrate their World Cup in 1998 so wildly? It was their first time they won anything without outside help. Why are there so many tree-lined boulevards in France? Germans like to march in the shade. Why did it take Germany three days to conquer France in World War II? Because it was raining. Why did the French give America the Statue of Liberty? Because she has only one arm raised. Why do the French get more votes in the U.N.? They vote with both hands. Why is the French fighter plane called the Mirage? It doesn't exist. Why don't they have fireworks at Euro Disney? Because every time they shoot them off, the French try to surrender. What does 'Maginot' mean in German? Welcome! Why is the French Foreign Legion the only decent fighting force in the whole French Army? Because it's made up of foreigners. What do you call 100,000 Frenchmen with their hands up? The army. How can you recognise a French veteran? Sunburned armpits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ack-ack Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Joking aside they held their own in the First world war. Unfortunately they relied on the same tactics second time round and didn't really stand a chance. Had they gone on the offensive early doors it may have been different but after the blood bath only a few years earlier you can forgive them for hoping the fuss would die down and normal life would return.

four-wheel-drive Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 It really pees me off the way people slag of the French people as being cowards and we are so much better than them there is only one reason that the Germans did not overrun us and that is the twenty miles of water that stopped them. if there was a land passage we would all be speaking German having said that also we could not have stopped them without the Americans saving us yet again.

scolopax Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Got to stick up for the Frenchies (a bit), they held their ground and took a hammering in WW1. By the time WW2 came around they were sick of war and not looking forward to the prospect of another. Up until WW2 wars could and were settled quite 'amicably', one side surrendering when soundly beaten then most likely after negotiations conceding a bit of territory on their boundary (land was forever changing ownership this way). Then afterwards carrying on pretty much as normal (until trying to win the lost territory back a generation or so later), that was how wars had been settled for centuries. No doubt this was the French thinking in WW2, unfortunately for them and Europe as a whole A.Hitler was now playing by a different set of rules.

ack-ack Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 we could not have stopped them without the Americans saving us yet again. The Russians would have had them on their own. As soon as they got their stuff together the writing was on the wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben0850 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 I am reliably informed that this spot is near Versailles and had been used also by NATO.... The things you find out when one of your pals is a rather talented "Urban Explorer"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
