As a German that loves wine I like the fact that the French and the German people became friends after centuries of hate and war.
morgan0073
People from Germany came to fix our lathe. Told them they can't drink beer at lunch. They walked out and flew back to Germany.
PremeDreme
The guy on the right isn't French by the way he holds the glass and tilts it
WhatzitTooya
Of course he's not french. No Frenchmen with dignity would condone such tomfoolery with wine.
williewilliewillie
I don't even like wine and I still hope that it's grape juice.

+1 for historical accuracy

Despite the french having a reputation as weak the french military was for most of history incredibly efficient.
TheManWithDecentPaintSkillz
up until wheels and tracks came around and the french couldn't figure out how to get of their horse and into a tank.
Fluffycorn
Before there was a little german/france war
7aranis
The french were among the first to develop tank
TheManWithDecentPaintSkillz
but they clung on to cavalry for way too long, that's what I meant by not getting of their horse and into a tank.
Panda4hire
True, but many armies struggled with the idea of abandoning the Cavalry. It was the defining force for hundreds of years.
ZombieZooZombieZoo
And even then, it was still an integral component after the decline of heavy cavalry in the 15th/16th centuries.
Panda4hire
up until the first world war and the advent of trench warfare and the heavy machine gun.
ViaFerrata
Joking aside the French had some of the best tanks in ww1 and the intro to ww2, forcing Hitler to abandon pz1s and 2s, rushing the pz3/38(t)
aegis27

the downfall was the arrogance of the commanding officers who refused to believe germany was rearming and did nothing.
chaoslordjiro
Also, you know, their military was incredibly devastated by WW1,and they hadn't recovered as much as Germany.
freienstein
They knew what was coming. They thought Maginot and their trenches could stop it. 10/10 would not block pass because of rough terrain again
frosphate
The French military devastated half of Europe under Napoleon's rule.
DVSBSTrD
And then the British went on to devastate them and half the world.
Galhaar
Remember that time they built bunkers into hills to fight off tanks during WW2 and the german tanks just went around?
sarsol
Up untill WW1 traditionally greatest Land power in Europe.

Lol cheese eating surrender monkeys
Panda4hire
Read your history. Also cheese is good.
BiteTheHandsThatThieve
Their country is named after a tribe named after a weapon. That's fucking awesome.
usmcmd52
For the record they're pretty good now. Awesome armor, some of the best mechanized units in the world. I say this as an American
akhronus
But I am le tired
wooshheeyonnn
Good at state building even with the revolutions.. There always seems to have been unity there, even in the midst of unrest
seeriktus
They were the dominant military power in Europe till the revolution & Napoleon. France has been wrecked every since.
drewwik
Going to war without France is like going without a marching band, all you leave behind is a lot of noisy baggage!
chargeling
As we say in Germany… "Life ain't a France campaign."
IamMacarthur
I am stealing this to use. Suck it France.

I don't think we say that.

Obviously. I've just made that up. The original, "Das Leben ist kein Ponyhof" should be known though.

The French Foreign Legion is still one of the world's elite fighting forces to be reckoned with
denigreur
The Maginot line was a pretty bad idea.
Solkanarmy
it was a great idea, going around it was just a better idea
ImMrbulldops
It was a great idea, letting the Belgians finish it was a bad idea
Kaler
Shots will be fired ... But we you probably don't know that we were neutral
ImMrbulldops
They could be neutral all they wanted, but the Belgians were supposed to have fortifications
Kaler
We had some! Check maps from that time... They are all clearly indicated!
ServantOfTheGodEmperorOfUsersub
The Belgian fortifications were quite substantial, but them and the Belgian army were no match for the Germans.
myweaknessisstrong
Napoleon, much?
Aerogers
Gaul. The Gallic wars. Bitch slapping Julius Caesar.
BiteTheHandsThatThieve
Vercingetorix was a bad ass.
Shineupordown
One name -Napoleon
ozington
One better name -Wellington
drewwik
Napoleon was Corsican, not French. His soldiers were primarily non-French as well.
drewwik
Corsica became part of France in 1769 but their ancestry was strictly non-french at the time!
kermie92
Yeah the United States would still be the colonies if it wasn't for our French brethren
frosphate
And their beef with the English.
BiteTheHandsThatThieve
And that playwright guy.
Krantaz
Until Napoleon decided the invade Russia, during the winter...
Panda4hire
You don't have to win every battle to be efficient. The last stat I read said they won 3/4ths of all military conflicts.
Wolokos
So did hitler, and you can't say that the nazi war machine was a bad one (well like, it was evil, but... not, you know, "bad" as such)
Chlor
Neither of them did. Both Hitler and Napoleon marched on Russia in the summer and hoped for quick resolutions, which neither of them got.
revuu
Efficient. But I'm pretty sure that's covered by it being German by default.
StormSaxon
NEVER INVADE RUSSIA
Panda4hire
I forget which military leader successfully did this.
SilverTheFalcon
Genghis Khan and the Mongol Hordes made it through Russia and all the way to Hungary before the old man kicked the bucket.
Chlor
Don't remember leaders, but the Poles did some successful warmongering in Russia, as did the Mongols. The Swedes too to a lesser extent.
Panda4hire
yeah it's possible if your people are just as used to the cold as the russians.
roflsnake
That's not what happened but ok
IFuckingLoveOtters
Didn't they invade earlier but it turned winter as they were there and it fucked them up royally?
Chlor
Pretty much. Napoleon tried to intimidate the Tsar into signing a peace treaty but ended up raging 6 months of war deep in enemy territory.
IFuckingLoveOtters
eh happens to the best of us
