The surrender meme was started by the French themselves and parroted by de Gaulle especially. It allowed the country to unify by giving the massive population of collaborators and right-wingers deniability instead of just reigniting the polarization of the 1930's.

US military history:

Rebellion: Cucked by the Limeys until you got bailed out by the Frogs.

1812: Cucked by the Canadians until they grew bored and went home.

Mexican-American Wars: America beats up the special-ed kid in class.

Civil War: America manages to defeat itself.

WWI: America joins the war once it's already been won, proceeds to take credit for victory.

WWII: America does the same as in WWI, but also hands Eastern Europe over to Uncle Joe.

Korea: America gets buttfucked by starving Chinks, manages to eek out a multi-generational stalemate.

Vietnam: America gets buttfucked by starving rice farmers.

Gulf War I: America kicks ass for a short while, them promptly pulls out without finishing the war.

Gulf War II: America claims victory while the war is ongoing. Gets brutally buttfucked and retreats.

Afghanistan: America gets butfucked for decades, and will continue to get buttfucked for years to come.

This is a tromblon VB. There was a hole in the center of the grenade so it could be fired with regular bullets (at that time bullet trap grenades weren't invented). There was also a mortar version using 4 old Gras rifles for saturation fire.
It was still used by police forces in the '90s for launching tear gas grenades.

The french love their gas grenades. They invented the current NATO spigot system for the MAS 36, and made the first rifle AT grenade alongside the british No. 68 with the Brandt 50mm grenade.

I vaguely understand that the French use a significantly different section composition from the norm? Is that right?

At the bataclan it was a police commander and his driver who were closest by so they went in first with nothing but their handguns and killed the first attacker which is what shifted them from actively shooting the crowd into a defensive posture taking hostages.

>>34997989
De Gaulle went in exile to London with a chunk of the government. The rest stayed and surrendered. De Gaulle continued the war from London while petain and his own brand of fascism ruled in France. De Gaulle never claimed that France surrendered all the time. In an effort to reunite a devastated country at war with itself, he said France surrendered to put an end to all of it. Same in Spain after franco died, the newly made king banned people from persecuting civil war crimes.
France was the second biggest empire at the time after great Britain. Only the Homeland was invaded by the Germans. All the colonies were behind de Gaulle after 1942. Can you blame them for not joining the allies sooner? Sure, but could you understand their point of view? The war in Europe in 1941 seemed like a pretty done deal, allying with Hitler was the rational decision for an old senile man like petain. Between total annihilation and a mostly autonomous self government the choice is clear. Compare how Frenchmen fared compared to polish or Belgian people. They fared better, and they even protected their Jews, compared to other countries, France saved 70+% of their Jews unlike poland and the Netherlands were very few of them managed to not get sent to camps.
The French are losers meme is a reoccurring meme ever since WW2. Because the French were not jumping on the US's dick like the rest of Europe during the cold war, because they didn't follow us in Irak like our pet Brits did etc. Really the Brits have fallen lower than the French IMHO, at least the French are fighting in Mali etc and have a semblance of autonomy, Brits have honestly become a 51st state...

little known facts about the Char :
The turret hatch is on the back instead of being on the top like in most tanks. The germans put hatches on the cupolas of captured vehicles.
A B1 bis was modified as a flamethrower tank in 1940 and used as the basis of the Flammpanzer B2 after the armistice.
The B1bis has a hull MG next to the howitzer
Most french armored vehicles, including the B1, had an AA MG in the turret
Most of the time the mechanic acted as a fifth member of the crew and helped load the 47mm gun.

It's, similar to how the Simunition FAMASes are marked. I think it's a deactivated FAMAS used for training.

Or it's a carrier from a FLAMMAS (to launch heaving lines in the navy); those were orange but I don't remember if the carrier was colored or not.

>>35010451
Hint hint:
>blue marking
Training. Usually means real munition that can be shot but without explosive charge, OR blank rounds, OR simunition training guns, depending on what bears the marking.
>orange marking
Dummy round. Dummy bomb, missile, gun, whatever. Everything is inert and paperweight-tier.
>tfw had to carry a fake AT4CS which was only the launch tube with rocks inside to match the real thing's weight
At most you can practice safe manipulation with it, or it's used in some context where your marksmanship isn't tested and noone wants to run the risk to fuck up a real gun.
Those orange-marked famas' have their bolt soldered all over without firing pin of course, disassembly pins soldered in, holes drilled in the chamber, and the mechanism box is empty for good measure. They are absolutely beat to shit because that's what's used for obstacle courses.
This is pretty much nato standard.

Outisde of the fact that the surbaissé and the félin versions are nothing more than heavily modded F1s, I encourage you to find me a single pic of a G2 in army hands.
Besides, the letter G is used because it follows the alphabetical order.
The G1 wasn't the first generation of FAMAS, there's an Au F2 instead of an Au G2, and so on.

It's actually an artist's view of what an re innovated famas would look like for the time. The FELIN low profile carry handle without the stupid thermal would work just fine using a nice optic or reflex.

>>35017596
At least France didn't have a massive technological advantage, fighting mostly with surplus from both world wars, no jets, no helos, no decent radio equipment and no conscripts.

Not to say that they didn't make humongous mistakes (Cao Bang evacuation, for example...), but them being the top dog in COIN warfare in the late sixties and saying to the US "don't go there, it's not worth the trouble" and getting completely ignored only for America to leave anyways must have left them with a grim sense of satisfaction.

The trahison of the West during ww2 was shameful, though.

Yeah...about twenty years after they already consistently defeated the rest of Europe. Napoleon got overconfident in Russia and the Peninsular War was a mistake.

Still, on the topic of POW executions (and cheese-eating surrender monkeys), I used to live near Chasselay, where a battle took place:
Elements of various senegalese tirailleurs regiments, one anti-aircraft regiment, and some french legionnaires didn't recieve the orders to retreat when Lyon was declared an open city, since french lines of communications where a bit hectic in June 1940. So when the entire SS Totenkopf division and the Grossdeutschland regiment came, they did what their last orders ordered them to and held on. After losing 9/10th of their number, the french forces regrouped the next day and attempted to stop the germans again. Numbering 200 against 25000.
The germans captured approx. 70 people, separated the black soldiers from the whites and machinegunned them (as well as the white soldiers that tried to intervene), then ran over them with tanks.
They also forbid the villagers to bury the dead, but despite that a mass grave was made, and in 1942 the Tata (pic), hosting 186 tirailleurs and 2 legionnaires (and a couple other names for MIA people) was built.

The germans burned their death so it would be impossible to number them, wanting to erase all signs of untermenshen even slowing down the glorious nazi army, not to mention killing them.

I went there, people still put written messages on the tombstones. It's a powerful place.

>>35021608
Do not forget they could have sacked the city without combat, slowing slaughtering guards, if gooses didn't not spot them.

Everyone circlejerks the stahlhelm and trenchcoat but damn the blue uniform is hot. Has the French army always been the most /fa/?

Yes.
Current navy uniforms were designed by Jean-Paul Gaultier.

Dude, you know they're literally our oldest allies right? The past couple of decades have been a little rocky, but all in all they've been brothers-in-arms.

Gendarmes are military. You're thinking of GIPN.
