Would American Generals have said such during World War II to the Nazi's????

More to the point, would French generals in 1939 have said such to the French? Or would they have been brave, gallant and ultimately... rather embarassed?

With the quality of the French and British Armor and the professional level of the Brits, the French would be entirely wrong to say they were unprepared. They had the force in place to stop the Germans...but
The Germans weren't fighting the last war and they overcame superior weaponry with farsighted tactics and once you get into an enemies' rear....the fun begins
