The French sustained almost as many casualties. That’s not men cutting and running, that’s men standing and dying, even if being “outfought”.

I believe the Germans lost about 27,000 men KIA out of 126,000 total casualties in the 1940 offensive.

After WWI, they were shocked by the small losses for so great a victory.
