The Damn Belgians and Dutch lost the war in the west. Holland was neutral in WWI and had the Kaiser living there. They ABSOLUTLEY REFUSED the French and British offers for joint operations. France & the BEF had two choices. Sit back and be invaded else attack Belgium before the Germans did. At the LAST MINUTE, Gamlin decided to defend the Neatherlands which the Bosche predicted with disasterous results. In the Next War, France needs to abandon the Dutch to their own fates!!!

@Dimi10b Certes, il y a sans doute eu un sentiment de "grande soeur protectrice" de la France envers la Belgique (surtout envers les Wallons) mais c'est surtout pour éviter d'avoir une guerre sur le sol Français et qui sait, peut-être rallier les Belges à la cause française et donc, rattacher la Wallonie à la France. Celà c'est d'ailleurs discuté entre grands vainqueurs en 1918. Mais l'Angleterre n'aurait sans doute pas apprécier, tout comme les Flamands

@Perversus666 I agree on the attack in 1939, France alone at that time would've destroy the Wehrmacht in few months. Hitler himself said that he felt so lucky that France didn't invade Germany in September 39. But I think that if France and the Chasseurs Ardennais had focused on the Ardennes and on Luxembourg, German wouldn't have passed them and had turned into Flanders where Belgian and British troops could take them. Attack the Maginot line would have stopped the Germans immediatly

@wulfsheImut You grandfather did good. Nazis are the ass of the world, like every racism. What can be so nice in Nazism??? They think, if you're not German, Aryen and white, you're a subman.

Wow my grandfather was in the US army. I so wish he had been in the SS, or even Werhmacht. I would have liked that much better. I bet he wishes he had fought for the Nazis now. The way history turned out totally blows.

French 1940 newsreels!! excellent and rare.
These are 1st army units I believe, the army that defeated its German opposite number at Gembloux. Yep it was only the collapse of the defences to the south that forced it to retreat.
Most of our uber alles junior keyboard warriors dont know anything about those 4 days.
Vive La France!
