Blokes from Eritrea are crossing the channel on fucking bicycle inner tubes and you’re telling me the entire nation of Germany couldn’t manage this relatively modest feat?
Ahh the ‘ocean’ between Germany and the UK, famous for its anti-ship capabilities.
Jesus fucking Christ man.
“If.” Always with the “If.” But it was there, and we had a big navy. So the “If” doesn’t matter.
But we do have a sea between that’s one of our defences.
“Getting their shit rocked”
Have some dignity man
Why didn’t Hans just take a ferry from Calais? Was he stupid?
That’s not why we make fun of France.
It’s much more ancient than that.
I mean. They speak French unironically for one.
That sea between us didn’t stop your shit getting rocked though did it?
Now do ‘countries entirely surrounded by water but spend so little on naval defence that they need their former invaders to do it for them’.
I have never belittled France for anything involving the world wars, I make fun of them because they’re cunts (affectionately) <3
“Ocean”
Irish sympathising with Nazis?! I’m shocked
Would have, if, etc. This looks like copium.
And last I checked the Channel wasn’t an ‘ocean’.
Without being an island our entire history would have developed differently and we wouldn’t be us, so this doesn’t even mean anything. The Royal Navy was part of that, but so were industrialisation and comparable production, not including the empire.
But some islands have an entire sea protecting them and STILL got their shit rocked for centuries, and need another country they purportedly resent to take on all the naval and air defence for them. What’s the excuse there?
Pretty dumb argument when you consider that the UK managed to create the largest empire in history with many (actual) oceans between it and its colonies.
Mainlanders getting jealous again.
Indomitable spirit mate.
The British distaste towards the French is definitely deep rooted from the Norman conquest. The British have had a long history with the French, it’s not just about WW2.
If it wasn’t for our mountains and the harsh winter,Norway would have been steamrolled in no time too.
If only France had some sort of defences or barriers between itself and Germany in 1940, something like the Ardennes, or the Maginot line or Belgium.
Eh, the wargames in the 1970’s suggested they’d of ran out of steam anyway at the first defensive line. 2 weeks maximum supply before they’d of had to retreat.
Countries that would have gotten their shit rocked in 6 weeks if they didn’t have an ocean protecting them…but they did have an ocean protecting them…so they didn’t get their shit rocked in 6 weeks.
Now highlight the countries that offered condolences to Germany for the death of the Austrian 👀
I thought it was the Americans who made the most fun of France for losing WW2 and that it specifically began after France refused to participate in the invasion of Iraq?
they should’ve just parted the sea like Moses and walked their army right in smh
Sounds like a gigantic skill issue to me tbh.
Cope that our ancestors were smart enough to move to a moated fortification.
If Reddit historian have taught me anything its that Germany in WW2 was actually total noob that cannot win whatsoever, even if there’s no ocean their Panzers would just break down half way into England because the transmission can’t handle all the wetlands and barely maintained country roads.
Probably to be fair. But we had been in the war since the start….. The only nation to be there at the start AND end (ex Germany).
It was thanks to the commonwealth nations we lasted so long
Yank detected. We mock the French for being French, not for their war record. Go back to your jet ski barbecue.
*Hey, you know Britain’s naval-focused strategy would have looked PRETTY USELESS if Britain had been a completely different country with no sea barrier!*
– Smartest Yank remark
People have swam the channel, sounds like a skill issue. Maybe Hans should have tried a bit harder.
And if my a-mother had wheels she would-a-be a bicycle
“World War 2 surrender” is the low-hanging fruit the Muricans use.
Us and Britain have a much richer and older history of mocking each-other 🤗
Least butthurt French Redditor
>When Athena approached her father to help her city, Zeus responded that he would grant that “*a wall of wood alone shall be uncaptured, a boon to you and your children*.”
There’s a reason our entire defensive doctrine for over 300 years has focused on having a powerful fucking navy.
We don’t need to fight you “fairly” on land when we can force you to the bottom of the English Channel
Do we do that? It seems primarily a yank thing. I respect the French and their actions in the wars. They are nothing if not prepared to fight.
I feel like it takes an American level of ignorance to actually claim France just gave up and surrendered instantly.
The island nation that has used its island status and navy to defense itself from land invasions for centuries used its island status and navy to defend itself from invasion
Color me surprised
Also RAF Fighter Command says hello from atop some smoldering Luftwaffe wreckage

Gray is “nazis who lost or their victims/allies who got their shit rocked in 6 days”
It’s those pesky immigrants with their boats, they are trying to commit S**lion on Great Britannia
Also in red, the one country we could not get air superiority over.
