And how many years ago was that?

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

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

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?
