They also allowed the Germans to build up for months after they invaded Poland and prepared to invade France.

In case of a major Soviet offensive across Europe, some declassified files report that the Soviet troops would have stopped before the French border.

Then ICBM (plateau Albion), Nukes carried by supersonic bombers (Mirage IV 3:36) and SLBM (submarines ) would be launched if tactical nukes wouldn't have been enough so that it would have been the beginning of a nuclear war.

There's somthing about the French vehicles that makes me want to own one. An AMX-13, AML-90, Panhard EBR, etc.
Owning an old Etendard or Super Mystere would be a dream come true, but owning one really is just a dream. Doubtful you can find the documents needed to maintain one today and even more doubtful D'assault still makes parts for them. Nevermind just finding an actual airframe in the first place.

Those big red missiles are Exocets. Argentina used them in the Falklands, it was probably their most feared weapon. Super effective, especially considering the Argentinians only had like 12 of them in total.
And if I'm not mistaken the Argentinians had to assemble them themselves without proper instructions so some of then didn't even detonate.
No only 5, and destroyed 3 english boat with them

Super vidéo, comme toujours. Hélas, cela donne la nostalgie d’une grandeur passée, où la France, notamment par la volonté du Général de Gaulle, était souveraine et indépendante et dotée d’une belle industrie. Aujourd’hui, il y a beaucoup de ruines…
C'est pas avec cet état d'esprit qu'on fait un grand pays
@@kenanfurcle786 Bonjour Kenan. La nostalgie ne suffit pas évidemment pour reconstruire la « Grande Nation » que fut la France. Cela dit, comme disait Alexis de Tocqueville : « Quand le passé n'éclaire plus l'avenir, l'esprit marche dans les ténèbres ». Et l’on peut, je crois, à l’aune de cette citation, méditer l’héritage aujourd’hui saccagé, que le Général de Gaulle et d’autres ont laissé à la France pour que notre pays rayonne : autonomie stratégique (énergétique, militaire, diplomatique,…), courage, fierté, respect des anciens, des traditions, des valeurs et de l’Histoire de France. Renouons avec ces concepts et nous retrouverons notre rang perdu. Mais pour l’instant, nous partons dans la direction opposée. Pas de quoi être optimiste donc…

My dad spent some of his military service on her sister ship, the Foch aircraft carrier, he was a radar technician. He has good memories of that time.
After the defeat of France at the hands of Germany France learned from them that modern warfare is all about mobility and speed (also power of course) and adapted.

@@omnianti0 Wut? Many Celts also fought naked.... it is in no way a Germanic thing. In fact, there wasn't that much difference culturally between the people in Gaul and those in Germania beyond Roman (Ceasar's really) propaganda. The difference only became preeminent after the annexation of Gaul by the Romans.

@@Itachi951000 The Franks were Germanic, but they never replaced the Gallo-Romans. They should be seen as overlords who replaced the Romans in the role of defender against other Germanic tribes. It was the Franks who assimilated into Gallo-Roman culture, adopting their language and religion, not the other way around. The gallo-romans in the late roman era had nothing in common with populations from across the Rhine.
@@elios4592 I don't mean to be rude but you should probably work on your reading comprehension. I never compared I basically said that there the Celts in Gaul weren't actually much different than their Germanic neighbours. The major cultural differences only arose after Gaul was conquered and romanized.
