As in, they sent less men and more armour, because they have the money needed for the armour, so they sent that instead of having many people get killed.

Nah, probably because we had the bulk of the infantry (they couldn't deploy that many raw numbers so far), they brought the tanks.

Be grateful we helped out!
Didn't have to!

We were allies, so you kinda did. :p

And as I said, half of that were ANZAC dudes XD

Yes. Being an island and all. But man did you get bombed. It ain't called the London Blitz for nothing. Besides, the only reason they invaded France was because of the most epic fail in history: The Maginot Line. I would laugh if so many people didn't die.

Yes, crossing the sea to get to islands is not the right way to do blitzkrieg.

Oh, the Maginot line explains why the army should not focus on one defensive unit too much. Not focusing on a single plan too much, to make it more general.

Masta Apex, it is our duty to help such a badass country such as Greece!

Thank you, my son!

I loved how that ΜΠΡΑΦ video put it. The French devoted so much time and resources, and created the best defensive line of it's time, and probably ever. The Germans solution to this miracle of defensive warfare? Fucking go around it.

The Maginot line is an awesome concept imo.

I really liked the design, but they should have taken into consideration that Hitler would not fuck around, and go through Belgium if he really wanted to.

I actaully found out that it existed from that ΜΠΡΑΦ video (Greek stuff, sorry to everyone else). They should have made a much better defense at the rest of the border too.

I was so close to that line a few days ago, there was no time to visit it though.

I can't agree more with both Markos and Karis here.
But Rambo... he topped all of this with the trope. GG everybody, get my likes!
