WI all the countries invaded by the Axis mounted a defense as effective as the Dutch but as suicidal as the Russians? Do we have a significantly shortened WWII?
HECK YES! The USSR falls within weeks, same with China
If only the French at Sedan had fought as hard (since they were pretty much similar in level of equipment and training) or for that matter, the BEF instead of scurrying away to the nearest port.
Yawn, you know the BEF rear headquarters was attacked when the main force was still fighting, join the dots about how that can happen. You also might want to spare a thought for the second line infantry without heavy weapons deployed there who stood and fought against enemy tanks.
Congratulations on using your ignorance to insult war dead.
For that matter you might look at some of the French units deployed on the Meuse who did fight hard, unfortunately at the wrong times and places.
So defending the (not particularly effective fighting) of the British or French is okay but disparaging the Dutch and Belgians is perfectly alright. Although they suffered much heavier casualties in ratio than the British.
There is a word for someone like you and its spelled hypocrite.
