Heck, the French fought WWII like it was still 1848.

Not really. They fought like it was 1914. Then again, they really didn’t want to fight at all. The guts of the country was ripped out in WWI and the socialists chopped up the carcass between the wars.

YOUTUBE is UNFALSIFIABLE, WILLFUL IGNORANCE

Censored media like Youtube is UNfalsifiable, hence Youtube can never be more reliable than UNKNOWN.

In other words, Youtube videos must be skeptically considered to be in error. They can never be considered as a historical source.

Youtube is great for cat & dog videos.

But Youtube is a poor source for historical truth.
Youtube is willful ignorance. Beware.

Dan Carlin of Hardcore History does an excellent series of podcasts on WWI. Something like 20 hours or more total. He makes the point that if you want to know what Napoleon's cavalry looked like find a photo of the French cavalry on the eve of the First World War.
