i had this discussion with some friends, what if a hypothetical giant dam in the rhine burst? IMO, it would totally ruin the ruhr industry, but some disagreed.

(also, this is in a scenario where the french are at war with the dutch in 1900, the french controll southern germany on both sides of the rhine up to about the OTL dutch border. they build this dam to stop the dutch from flooding the netherlands to make it impassible. their idea was to build a big dam, then let it burst and wash away the dutch who were retreating behind their lines and then attack:rolleyes: yes, i know.)
