    Yes... the whole posturing before WWII... and "you can't beat us, we've got the Maginot Line"... then they fell and surrendered within mere weeks.

    To be fair, the Maginot Line may well have held- if the daft sods hadn't stopped when they got to Belgium.
    The Germans just went round it and came in through the tradesman's entrance.

    Who knows, certainly possibly with a combination of bombers paratroopers and conventional ground forces. It would have taken far longer and many more German lives though, I am sure the British expeditionary force would have tickled the Huns a bit but no more. The British army was pathetically weak compared to the Germans in those years and military f**k ups was par for the course for the army leadership, take Crete for example, what a fiasco
    Battle of Fort Eben-Emael, they just dropped paratroopers in and they destroyed the gun positions with explosives, the Maginot line in some sections was just as susceptible to such things.

    Besides some hero volunteers- it's a shame the Irish weren't very useful or courageous during WWII! :bandit:
