"from my history i remember the germans also had huge losses in WW I"
I didn't contend otherwise. I was just disputing the notion that the French are an inherently cowardly people. You don't sustain the horrific losses they sustained in WW I (not to mention the Napoleanic years) without having some backbone in your genetic makeup.
I agree that that backbone is increasingly hard to locate these days, but I suspect it's somewhere in the Gallic gene pool.
The Germans did indeed have huge losses fighting on two fronts during WWI, but they were so superior to the French and British and Russians that they were losing only about one soldier to two of the enemy. That is why they were actually winning the war and the USA had to intervene.
