Nothing French though??

and you're suprised by that?

 

[bronzewhaler82]

If i'm honest....No

The French never built anything during that war that truly impressed me... 8)

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

the last great thing the French did for warfare was invent it............

 

[bronzewhaler82]

No they didn't invent war...they invented LOSING war

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

good point..............

(don't mention the fact that they were the last people to sucessfully invade england)

 

[bronzewhaler82]

And how many years ago was that?

The modern French army (1900 onwards) is about as frightening as Des O'connor! 8)

 

[cheddar cheese]

The modern French army

theres no such thing, the reason their so bad is cos theyre so old fashioned 8)

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

And how many years ago was that?

nearly 1000 years.................

 

[bronzewhaler82]

It was a retorical question Lanc! I know how long ago it was

If you're talking about the 1066 invasion, it wasn't the French, it was the Normans which were Vikings that chose to settle in Northern France which gave them a different name for sticking in one place.

At that point INVADING Britain would have been easy enough. Pile onto boats, and if you make it and set foot on enemy land, it can be called an invasion. Conquering Britain, however, is an entirely different story. The German's had to actually get across the channel, but they couldn't even clear the skies of yet another threat

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

even the normans could clear the sky before invading, so were they better than the germans, think about it, who would win between the normans and the germans?

 

[plan_D]

Who won in 1940? Then you got your answer.

 

[cheddar cheese]

who would win between the normans and the germans

with the technology they had at the time?

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

bearing in mind the normans had total air superiority...................

 

[cheddar cheese]

did they? name me some of the planes they had i service at the time

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

that's the best part, they somehow managed to get air superiority without planes, how cool is that...............
