In WW2 I don't blame the average French Soldier for the loss, they fought as bravely as they could.

They had ineffectual leadership that was stuck fighting the last war that didn't see that the world had entered the world of mobility warfare even though the German's had demonstrated it prior to moving around the French static defenses.

the French have been more failed by poor leadership then anything else.
