@archiptere @pourquoipablo Mais ça prend une place de dingue !

@AmericanKaiser3 @EParcelier @DeutschWatamate Capable? He was planning to run away ( a true british tradition when faced against the Germans ) before the French stabilised the line.

[Francois Michel @Carignan1515]

@AmericanKaiser3 @EParcelier @DeutschWatamate Sure. It gets even funnier when you know who commanded the BEF.

[Francois Michel @Carignan1515]

@AmericanKaiser3 @EParcelier @DeutschWatamate "The only reason " The British had 6 divisions. The Feench 64, the Germans 51. A bit of humility would be nice.

@ScaryBerry87 @GoTw52 @KampfgruppeKrag @AlfonzoSte87585 Let's see how well they fare against 3700 FT Renault and 400 St Chamond.

[Francois Michel @Carignan1515]

@GoTw52 @KampfgruppeKrag @ScaryBerry87 @AlfonzoSte87585 Wow impressive GDP. How much tanks did Germany produce between 1914 and 1918 ?

[Francois Michel @Carignan1515]

@GoTw52 @KampfgruppeKrag @ScaryBerry87 @AlfonzoSte87585 And the French supplied the AEF with 500 FT tanks, 5 000 spad planes, 4 000 field guns and 40 000 thousands machine guns. The US walked into the war with nothing but rifles.

@Heiwa_No_Shori @GoTw52 @KampfgruppeKrag @ScaryBerry87 @AlfonzoSte87585 Doubt it would be impregnable. It would just drown in phosphine gas.

[Francois Michel @Carignan1515]

@GoTw52 @KampfgruppeKrag @ScaryBerry87 @AlfonzoSte87585 The French were doing the logistic support by 1918. They armed the entire AEF.

[Francois Michel @Carignan1515]

@GoTw52 @KampfgruppeKrag @ScaryBerry87 @AlfonzoSte87585 I'm talking there no way 1914 Germany can resist an offensive the scale the 100 days offensive of 1918.

Hundreds of FT tanks, planes that can actually shoot, heavy artillery, gas.

[Francois Michel @Carignan1515]

@GoTw52 @AssadGaming2025 @ScaryBerry87 @AlfonzoSte87585 If you take france 1918, then by definition the trench lines are there.

[Francois Michel @Carignan1515]

@AmericanKaiser3 @MartinDaniel100 The mutinies were over in 1918.

[Francois Michel @Carignan1515]

@MartinDaniel100 The Kaiserschlacht was broken at the 2nd battle of the Marne. The French had 44 divisions, the US had 8.

[Francois Michel @Carignan1515]

@MartinDaniel100 The same USA that had no fields guns, no tanks, no machine guns, no planes ? The ones that were supplied, trained and commanded by the French ?

[Francois Michel @Carignan1515]

@mapping_ge10321 @ScaryBerry87 @AlfonzoSte87585 Nothing compared to the war industry of 1918 France.

[Francois Michel @Carignan1515]

@AssadGaming2025 @ScaryBerry87 @AlfonzoSte87585 He's talking about the continuous trench lines running from Switzerland to the North Sea

[Francois Michel @Carignan1515]

@KampfgruppeKrag @ScaryBerry87 @AlfonzoSte87585 No way Germany can resist a combined arms offensive, backed by trucks, tanks, state of the art planes and gas shells. There wouldn't be a blockade, France would enter Germany in a matter of weeks.

[Francois Michel @Carignan1515]

@AmericanKaiser3 @DeutschWatamate 1918 France was not exhausted. It broke the Kaiserschlacht and won the war.

[Francois Michel @Carignan1515]

@MichaelDP1702 @_Tamazeal @FortIS_55 Between 2.5 and 3 millions men in both 1914 and 1918.

But a whole different army, equipment and doctrine.
