8:35 tho we did got free american sherman and pershing tanks and used them both in eastern France and western germany arcoss the rhine
hello from norway
Day 2 of asking zwalada to play 100 hours of warthunder
Bruh yesterday it was 10. So this is a definite no!
@@zwalada It was a miss type but im not changing it
Viva le tonk
Viva 🇪🇸
Idk i think it could really work good if they used it as an artillery. Just use a bigger gun and shortens it length
oh come on, we know very well we couldn't have done it without the help of the allies de Gaulle knew very well, his speech in 1944 was purely strategical politics because i'm not sure if you know but president Roosevelt wanted to make France an american occupation zone
Terrible tank in real life, my favorite tank in games
s/o my polish folk
Brits act the same way 1:40
Another fun fact the French had one of the smallest resistance movements of the war
WHATTTT? SO Charles de Gaulle was lying about the French liberating themselves, and it was in real the English, Canadians, American's and a hand full of other countries that did it? Tell me it ain't so!
@@zwalada ik shocking isn’t it also the polish resistance in Warsaw is one of my favourite topics of the 2nd world war it’s quite interesting
Wtf are you talking about??? We have one of the lowest déportation rate thanks to the interior resistance, because this resistance manage to extract thousand of jews out of the occupied territoires, the resistance also manage to send men to Uk for the ''libération army" who participate and sometime made, many battle like: bir hakeim, Tunisia campaign, italian campaign, participate to the normandy invasion, the french landing in southern France, the libération of Paris and of course in germany. the rôle of the french interior resistance has been essential in normandy, here js a little quote of D.eisenhower "We were depending on considerable assistance from the insurrectionists in France. Throughout France the Free French had been of inestimable value in the campaign.... Without their great assistance the liberation of France and the defeat of the enemy in Western Europe would have consumed a much longer time and meant greater losses to ourselves." so please inform yourself before saying shit about things youd dont know
@@albert_le_t-rex9112 they did have an effective but it was nowhere near the largest, the polish and the Hungarian ones easily beat it even the Yugoslav partisans
@@yuritrainspottingbro you say that after all the things i tell just above, i'm not saying that polish or yugoslav have a bad resistance (unlike you I would nevers denigrated their resistance because their were effective and brave like all the other) but can you tell me anything that they do and the french didnt do ? And btw the hungarian were and the german side so......
In ww2 france used ww1 tech.
In cold war france used ww2 tech.
French baguette engineering go brrrrrr.
Edit: Prob one of the best vids ive seen about the arl 44, keep cooking man, bet you will be big.
Wait there are more people that made videos about this waste of space that the French call a tank?
