[Alas Babylon!]

It's not even about who has the larger army. It's all up here (pointing to head) and here (pointing to heart). The Germans hated the French and English because of Versailles and Hitler fanned that hatred to a red hot coal. Meanwhile, the British and French, who went to war with Hitler over Poland—did nothing while Poland was crushed.

And the French had thousands of tanks and millions of men on the German border, but did not have the intelligence to strike Germany with its back turned nor the heart to march in against a grave injustice. All they could worry about was “when will the Hun attack us?” Never, “Let us attack the Hun now, with all we've got!!”

Hitler's generals where ready to oust him had the French came over the Rhine. The most amazing thing to them in the whole war was why they never did.
