Does anyone remember the Sharpe films where Sean Bean fought the French?


Richard Sharpe

Do you know what will be the joke today? the scoreline when France beat England

Song

We have a bite from a Frenchy

Don't be silly Song...true to history they will surrender as soon as their defences are breached

palmers, when i was at school they actually filtered that

best way to confuse a french solder?

give him a rifle and tell him to fire it!

you know why the bottoms of french warships are made of glass?

so the sailors can see the rest of the fleet!

Did you hear about France's new weapons contracts?


. They gave one to Ace Hardware to produce 250,000 wood sticks...they are still looking for a company to produce 250,000 little white flags

13 gears-12 for reversing and 1 for going forward in case the enemy attack from behind

I never understood france's role in ww2 until i read up recently on vichi france.

i always thought they were on our side - or we were on their side.

it turns out that they :

1. signed an armistice with germany in 1940
2. adminstered their own country during ww2 under german superivsion
3. maintained an army at home and abroad with german approval
4. engaged in battle with american troops in north africa
5. let the japanese in to french indo china (which they still controlled) to attack british malay and singapore

The French were even more useless in the Second World War than they had been in the First World War

just been stydying ww1 for the past year palmers so i think i know a thing or 2 about it

they weren't as bad as in ww2 but not far behind-kept throwing everything into mass offensives which went horribly wrong. ironiccally it's the british generals get criticied for largely French endeavours-it was the French, not the British wanted the Somme

anyway, got to go now-train to catch-maybe i'll catch you this evening

which french are you talking about click ?

the (vichy) french army and government was cooperating with the germans throughout ww2.

it was only the minority french resistance that supported the allies and tried to get the germans out, as well as about half a dozen french exiled in london who the rest of france totally ignored.

You are right

I studied WW1 at school but my knowledge is a little hazy now. The French kept the Germans at bay at Verdun but in 1914 when they had erected a line of defences on the France/Germany border the Germans just marched round them and through Belgium.

See you later
