Dubbing films shouldn't be a thing...Dubbing always seems to be shit. It never quite matches the emotion of the speaker.

Something like 1 in every 4 Frenchmen aged between 18 & 55 was either killied or wounded in WW1Bearing in mind the original was done in the 1930`s, the battle scene is incredible:
Verdun wasnt called the meat grinder for nothingSomething like 1 in every 4 Frenchmen aged between 18 & 55 was either killied or wounded in WW1
When I see comments about the French surrendering it frankly disgusts me
The French army suffered around 6 million casualties, including 1.4 million dead and 4.2 million wounded, roughly 71% of those who fought. Slightly less than twice British losses
Quite a few Irish lads gave it a go.I often wonder how both sides never mutinied on a big scale. The French did in 1917 but they managed to contain it but surely years after slogging it out, they could see the utter futility of it. They`d have been better off getting out of their trenches, marching back home and overthrowing the rotten governments/monarchies that sent them into that tragic hellhole. I also wonder how many of those that came home were utterly mentally destroyed by their experience and how they managed back in a civilian world.
The defence at Fort Vaux at Verdun was an incredible display of bravery that even the Germans acknowledged with a guard of honour as the survivors marched out of the fort after only being forced to surrender due to running out of water - they survived as long as they could by licking moisture from the fort wallsSomething like 1 in every 4 Frenchmen aged between 18 & 55 was either killied or wounded in WW1

Isn't that what you're doing though. The old Hollywood "you'd be speaking German if we hadn't saved your ass in WW2"Not like you to rewrite history
It's the ww2 where they didn't exactly cover themselves in glory.Something like 1 in every 4 Frenchmen aged between 18 & 55 was either killied or wounded in WW1

Russia were still on the same side as the Nazis when the Battle of Britain was won, alone. Hitler needed a quick win, as the Royal Navy would soon choke Germany to death.Why not? It was Hitlers biggest misake of the entire war as he had no need to turn on Russia. Us and the Yanks had to resort to Nuking Hiroshima and Nagasaki WarCrime and Dresden another War Crime imo
Thankfully Putin is no Stallin.

Same side is debatable but certainly Russia assisted Nazi Germany with access to resources and the none aggression pact. Obviously no single nation won the war but clearly Russia were massively influential as 27 million estimated deaths demonstrate.Russia were still on the same side as the Nazis when the Battle of Britain was won, alone.

British fighting in N. Africa robbed the Germans of fuel, while aerial bombardment on a scale never seen before (in response to the horrors inflicted by Germany on Britain) forced the Germans to station a million men in Germany to protect it from Britain, rather than send them to the Eastern front. On top of the destruction of Germany's war manufacturing, RAF bombing forced them to concentrate much of their production on anti-aircraft guns rather than tanks for the Eastern Front.
Britain then acted as the point of invasion, training the Yanks in warfare, and opening up a second front.
Madness to declare America, or even Russia, ffs, as the sole winners of the second world war.
I notice you seem to see the Allies as war criminals, and Stalin as a hero.
Typical of your extremist sort.
That`s such a tragic story. There must have been many more like him too.In the mid seventies, there was a man in our village, around 80 year old.
He used to go around delivering leaflets. I think he as well did a paper round. He used to talk to himself, and every now and then give a scream out. Tommy he was called.
Us young uns used to take the mick a bit, but if any adult saw you,you would get a clip.
Sometimes he would just wander in to the road, looking up at the sky.
Cars would just pull over, get out and put an arm round him , take him to seat in the square. Someone ( an adult) would always come out of a shop and sit with him, hold his hand. For as long as it took for him to calm down.
If that was say 1975, then he had been in that state for getting on 60 years.
What he must have seen, I dont know.
I suppose one positive of his torment was how it showed me how a village pulls together to look after one of its own.
They suffered terrible casualties in the Battle Of France - they were hampered by inflexible commanders, poor communication and tactics that were rooted in WWI when the Germans were fighting a war of rapid movement. Not forgetting the country was still badly scarred by WWI.It's the ww2 where they didn't exactly cover themselves in glory.
Why not? It was Hitlers biggest misake of the entire war as he had no need to turn on Russia. Us and the Yanks had to resort to Nuking Hiroshima and Nagasaki WarCrime and Dresden another War Crime imo

Fair enough, but watch The Sorrow and the Pity and you might change your mind. I did.That`s such a tragic story. There must have been many more like him too.

Hitler may not have been defeated without them, or at at the very best US/GB would have suffered horrendous casualties.Same side is debatable but certainly Russia assisted Nazi Germany with access to resources and the none aggression pact. Obviously no single nation won the war but clearly Russia were massively influential as 27 million estimated deaths demonstrate.
The French 12th motorised division (150th infantry regiment) held the perimeter of Dunkirk while BEF were evacuated, the French army was poorly led & poorly equipped I'll always dispute that the French army were cowardlyIt's the ww2 where they didn't exactly cover themselves in glory.
Exactly. In fact, far from seeing Dunkirk as a miracle, the French saw us as deserting them at their greatest time of need. Different viewpoints from different countries.The French 12th motorised division (150th infantry regiment) held the perimeter of Dunkirk while BEF were evacuated, the French army was poorly led & poorly equipped I'll always dispute that the French army were cowardly

No they weren'tThe French in general were cowardly, and this is from someone who holidays in France most years and loves the place.
Just watch the sorrow and the pity and then come back and comment. If you don't watch it it's pointless. It's a French film by the way and about 6 hours long.
The French sailors in England refused to help us defend ourselves against the nazis in 1940. A lot of French hated us more than the germans. Fact.
Yes they were. This is a French documentary.No they weren't
Shurrup man
