      I disagree. The reason the French army lost is I believe due to poor leadership and mixed moral. Due to poor birth rates following WWI, France simply didn’t have the man power to fill the ranks in the same way Germany was in the interwar period, so France laxed the rules regarding who could be conscripted. Where before, anti war groups like socialists and groups like them were banned from service, the government had little choice but to conscript them. However, when the fighting began in 1940, it was primarily units comprised of men who would previously have been deemed unfit for service who were the first to cut and run when German shelling began, leaving their more experienced and more determined comrades to fend for themselves. Even the Germans noted how inconsistent the French units were. Some unites would either completely collapse/surrender/retreat in disarray, or it would take until they ran out of food and ammunition and/or were completely cut off from resupply that they would finally give up. Combine that with generals who were a mixed bag of bad and worse apples. And the fact they were hamstrung by the British REFUSAL to gain strategic ground by invading Germany, the French army was forced into a position of letting the Germans choose where and when they would fight. Had the British pushed into the Ruhr valley and covered the French left flank, the French had the arms and men to have completely broken through the Seigfried line and have crossed the rhine either forcing the Germans to reduce their campaign in Poland, or have surrendered all together. The bulk of the German army was in Poland. Had the French government and the British government allowed their generals to be more aggressive Poland might have been saved.

For your information, 100,000 French soldiers had been killed in the 6 weeks of battle of France in May-June 1940, with 156,000 Nazi casualties. Dead, wounded, missing. It was the French who covered the Dunkirk evacuation, by slowing down the Nazi assault on the city for 10 days.
      France is not only Paris, you know. Fightings, often fierce were hundreds miles away, mostly on eastern or Northern France, near the Belgium border. Paris was declared open city by the French government, only after 6 weeks, to avoid bigger destructions, because the battle was already lost. That doesn't mean the fights were over. A lot of French units continued to fight after the armistice, who was signed on June 22, 1940, and surrendered only on order.

      The French 1940 failure was an accident for many reasons, such as the devastating French losses of World War I, which are still visible 22 years later, as this previous war was mostly fought on French soil. 1.4 million killed and 4.5 million injured. For a population of 40 million. Entire generations. And the population of Germany in 1914 and 1940 was 70 million, almost twice the French. The sea saved the English, otherwise they would have been crushed like all Europe. Russians were crushed during 2 years, with a population of 188 million and a territory 10 times larger than France in the European part of the USSR. During World War II they had lost over 5 million prisoners. And US 1940 army would have been pulverized by the Nazi blitzkrieg. Even in 1944, their troops were saved more than once by their air forces.

    IF, when France invaded Germany in 1939, and the BEF had turned up ready to fight, (which they didn't), the war would have been over very quickly. But the British were very good at signing treaties, they had seven such protection treaties with Nepal at the time of the Chinese invasion but like the self-serving cowards they are, did nothing although the British Empire forces in India were the largest in the world. Poland was sacrificed to both Germany and the Rus. Yet very great use was made of the Free Polish forces, then they were chucked out at the end of the war. The ENGLISH are hypocrites.
