In WWII the French Army in 1940 had more and better tanks more planes( if you include the RAF) more men, more everything basically then the Germans. I know they've run it through some computer simulation and the computer has not been able to lose with the French. I heard the trade unions sabotaged the French railroads and stopped them from redeploying when the bulk of the German tanks came through the Ardennes( the Soviets controlled the trade unions and in 1940 were supporting the Nazis). Is there any truth to that?

I had not heard that before, but can't say whether it's true or not.

All that says is computers are smarter than the French generals were.
