The best comeback ever.
It’s interesting to see that the USSR didn’t have a huge manpower advantage people think they did, over Nazi Germany, for the most of the war, and still won.
always crosses my mind when some lib start spewing “asian hordes”, that this is pure projection. their entrenched racism doesn’t let then see or accept that the red army innovated warfare, while praising the so called blitzkrieg that managed to defeat frace that had like 70% of army being nazi collaborators.
I kid you not in French History class they tell you that the reason we lost against blitzkrieg is because old vets decided that “war was won on defensive positions” and that “Hitler would obviously attack on the border and would never get around our fortifications by moving through another country” like they deadass made a oopsie and not wanted to get rid of the Republic and the commies no no no
No idea where you can access official History curriculum, it’s just a memory from class, maybe it’s even my teacher who told us that and it wasn’t from the book.
I’m going to look what liberal sources claim about the subject but for now it’s “trust me bro”
Funnily they actually dunk on the collaborators myths that the Germans were an invincible army of doom. But their explanation for the defeat is that the generals were boomers who thought that the war would be just like WW1. Silly old French generals not knowing what tanks and planes do!

Edit : Okay found a source in French, interview by a “History professor” from number one fascist military school that loves revisionism. https://www.france24.com/fr/20200510-défaite-de-1940-l-armée-française-mal-préparée-une-légende-construite-par-vichy
