The French military was better equipped than the Germans; they just didn't understand how to use armor and air tactically.
Even the GGP refers to the 'huge army' of the French.
- sofixa 2y agoThe army was bigger, and had some better equipment. But there wasn't enough of it, neither for France, nor to support various French aligned troops (e.g. Spanish republicans). And yes, it was very badly used. In part because of bad tactics and the wrong lessons learned from WWI and the Spanish Civil War, in part because there wasn't enough of it so they decided to spread it out across the front.
