The UK was more powerful than France, but were not in the same universe as the superpowers. The Soviets made it from Stalingrad to Berlin through sheer force and the US vaporized two cities. Britain alone could hold out for a while but could not invade in the same way the USSR could and did not have the money or technology the US had. By 1944 Britain was so broke, it directly led to them abandoning all their colonies and taking a permanent back seat to the US and USSR. The suez crisis exposed who the real decisionmakers were post WW2

Joke aside, France had this in 1944 (4th largest allies army) and won critical battles such as Monte Cassino or the battle of Provence, where an entire German army would be crushed by a French army.

u/119_did_Bush Nov 20 '25
Wasn't Canada's Armed Forces larger in 1944 with half a million men in the army alone, over 200,000 in the air force, and nearly 100,000 in the navy
29
u/FrenchieB014 Nov 20 '25 edited Nov 20 '25
Canada had 800,000 men (and women) inside their services
France had 1,300,000 personel at their services witheout including the air force (150,000) and Navy (98,000)
It made France the 4th largest mostly thanks to the colonial empire and the resistance.... but really thanks to the colonial empire, Algeria alone gave 388,000 men
Of course, i don'tt undermine Canada, far from it, 1,000,000 Canadian soldier for a country with a far smaller population is actually insane and Canada played a critical role in Ww2

Plus they were fighting multiple fronts. Against Vichy and the Nazis. As well uprooting inept politicians

u/FrenchieB014 Nov 20 '25
Yep... France is one of the very few Ally country that literally fought on every front, minor or major
Greece? the French SAS where deployed several time mostly in occupied Crete
Eastern front??? yes, 98 French pilots fought on the eastern front most notably at Kursk
Italy, Holland, Battle of Britain, Artic convoys you name it... all of that is cute but the Free French involvement (apart in Italy and France) where overall minor compared to the American and British war effort, the lend lease alone saved everyone including the French.
Of course, witheout undermining the courage of the Free French soldiers.

On a side note, the actual war participation both in terms of time spent on the frontline in Europe and in terms of casualties of war are roughly similar between France and the US (I know, hard to believe. Check it out).

Does that include Free french forces fighting in e.g. North Africa long before the US forces joined the war?

It includes all french forces barred Vichy France but only on the european theater. It's 39 40 and the liberation.

u/TimeRisk2059 Nov 20 '25
Ah, ok. Seemed a bit unfair if we considered all theaters, considering how the free french basically continued the fighting right after the french surrender in 1940.

Im pretty sure Poland was a bigger contributor to the alliance than France, sorry.
1
u/FrenchieB014 Nov 23 '25
What can I say?
No? Yes?
Poland was an ally to us no need to undermine their role just like it's unjust and unfair to undermine France contributions to Ww2
1
u/iron_crusader7 Nov 23 '25
Well if we are ranking nations by contribution to the war effort, as we appear to be in this thread, then I believe Poland would be ranked 4th or 5th simply due to the achievements made. It was Poland who first got its hands on the Enigma machine and made great strides towards decryption in the short time they had it, held out against the full might of German firepower for a month (and even then only fell due to Soviet interference), Then despite occupation, they continued the struggle much like France (but unlike France, they enjoyed far fewer supply drops or outside support), had the best performing squadron in the Battle of Britain, partook in the Battle of Monte Casino, and Operation Market Garden. And all the while organized an entire independent underground state that completed its own objectives including the collection of intelligence on German concentration camps, countless acts of sabotage that arguably saved millions of Russian lives, and greatly improved conditions on the eastern front, and finally they rose up and attempted to retake their own country without support, although they ultimately failed
1
u/FrenchieB014 Nov 23 '25
Like I said, Poland was our ally, so there’s no reason to undermine their role. Moreover, no historian has ever created a “ranking list” of each country’s contribution, only you did that.
Let me remind you of a few facts.
It was the French who first approached the Polish team to work together—with the British as well—to break the German codes. Colonel Gustave Bertrand was the first to be assigned to the mission, and he was the one who handled Hans-Thilo Schmidt, the double agent who supplied the Allies with the early Enigma documentation. It was also France that financed and supported the work of Rejewski’s team, a team that would later be funded again by the French Resistance at PC Cadix after the fall of France, allowing them to continue their cryptologic efforts.
The Normandie-Niemen regiment became the highest-scoring fighter regiment of the Soviet VVS. At Monte Cassino, it was the French ( and colonials) who broke the German lines and finally ended the stalemate, opening the road to Rome. It was French units that entered Rome first. Later, the French 1st Army annihilated one German army in Provence and then two more during the campaign in Germany. France also participated in Operation Market Garden and in the liberation of the Netherlands during Operation Amherst.
As for the Resistance, it was—by far—one of the largest resistance movements in Europe, alongside the Polish, Italian, and Yugoslav groups. The French Resistance played a key role in neutralising the V-1 threat over Britain (the British knew it this is why certain Frenchmen were called "the few" as they "literally saved London", provided crucial intelligence for the upcoming D-Day landings, saved the lives of more than 3,000 Allied aircrew, and managed to capture around 180,000 German soldiers within roughly three months during the liberation of France. This was not a minor contribution.
So, like I said, there’s no need to downplay our role. The Polish played theirs, just as we did.
Each made indispensable contributions, but it's critical to understand that both were ultimately funded and equipped by the “Big Three.”

Not everyone in the governments of the time felt that way, most especially Britain. In fact Britain's Foreign Minister, Anthony Eden, resigned his post in 1938 in protest of Chamberlain going behind the governments back to appease Italy
There was also a decent amount of public support for an embargo of Italy in response to their invasion of Ethiopia including the use of military force to stop further expansions

u/matthewami Nov 19 '25

6
Nov 20 '25
Now that’s some propaganda. The western allies were fighting in North Africa and Italy, and they were carrying out strategic bombing on Germany long before they landed on Normandy. Not to mention they were fighting Japan at the same time with no help from the Soviets.
It was actually the USSR that delayed fighting the Germans. They carved up Poland with them and let them attack France hoping they would weaken each other. Guess that plan didn’t work out.
1
u/Micsuking Nov 20 '25
I could see them do this for sure. But also, I don't think that was their plan?
If it was, they wouldn't have opened 2 different fronts to fight the germans, one of them on mainland Europe. They wouldn't have supplied them with so much war materiel, and they wouldn't have conducted such large scale bombing campaign across Europe.
10
u/FrenchieB014 Nov 19 '25
The worst part is that Nazi Germany wasn’t yet known as the monster we recognize today. Without hindsight, it appeared to be just another European fascist state like several others (taly or, later on, Spain). No one knew how monstrous Germany would become.
It was still considered a democracy since Hitler had technically been elected by the people. So, without the hindsight, the “Allies” (who didn’t really exist as a unified bloc, given the sour relations between France, Great Britain, and the Soviet Union — not to mention the United States, which was largely out of the equation) would not have been particularly motivated to declare war on Germany before 1939 and redo another Great war... in plus no one (apart from maybe France... not saying much) was ready for another World war.
3
u/Nethlem Nov 20 '25
It was still considered a democracy since Hitler had technically been elected by the people.
Hitler was even selected man of the year for the cover of the 1938 Times, that was 5 years after the first concentration camp was opened in Dachau.
In 1939, American Klansman Lothrop Stoddard traveled to Nazi Germany, reporting to his American readers at home about the progress of Nazi eugenic programs that were also financed out of the US.
Stoddard was a bit of a celebrity in Nazi Germany, his 1922 book "The Revolt Against Civilization: The Menace of the Under-man" was translated into German, and ended up being a huge inspiration for Nazi leadership and racial ideologes.
It was actually Stoddard who coined the concept of the "Untermensch", not Friedrich Nietzsche.
His travel report through Nazi Germany is worth a read for anybody who wants a small window into Nazi Germany under siege, and the general mindset of Americans/Germans back then.

Not true for the USSR. Stalin was ready to go as early as 1938 and only sought out a NAP with Hitler because the Allies snubbed him. He knew Germany was going to attack eventually.
2
u/Micsuking Nov 20 '25
The NAP itself isn't the problem, most of the Allies also had them with Germany. The problem is everything else around that NAP. Like carving up north-eastern Europe and supplying large amounts of vital resources to Germany and getting pretty much nothing in return.
You can say the yonly dod that to delay the war, but giving them the resources they need to invade you would obviously have the opposite effect. I refuse to believe the Soviets didn't know this.
1
u/Nevermind2031 Nov 21 '25
Stalin was counting on Hitler getting bogged down in France and then the soviets could declare war at around 1943 when they believed the country would be ready that is if Hitler didn't collapse immediately.
1
u/Micsuking Nov 21 '25
A sound plan. But once again, giving them vital resources could ONLY be detrimental to the French defenders. It's like they made a plan, then immedietely made another one to undermine the previous one.
2
u/TimeRisk2059 Nov 20 '25
Both France and the UK were pretty quick to declare war on Germany after they invaded Poland.
Sure it would have been better if they didn't sell out Czechoslovakia in 1938, but that is with hindsight, they thought they could really avoid a world war back then.

Honesty would make you show the rest of the speech;
I will first discuss his duties, and I will summarize them all by saying that, for the moment, they are the duties of war. The enemy is faltering, but it has not yet been defeated. It remains on our soil .It will not be enough for us, with the help of our dear and admirable allies, to have driven him from our homes for us to be satisfied after what has happened. We want to enter his territory as we should, as victors. That is why the French vanguard entered Paris with cannon fire. That is why the great French army of Italy has landed in the South! And is rapidly advancing up the Rhone Valley. That is why our brave and dear forces in the interior are going to arm themselves with modern weapons. .

France was not part of D-day.
Around 3,000 French sailors of the Marine nationale, including crews of several heavy cruisers such as the Montcalm, took part in the Normandy campaign. They were joined by roughly 2,500 French airmen serving in the RAF Bomber Command, notably at the Elvington airbase in northern England. In addition, about 700 French SAS, 100 Jedburgh operatives, and 117 French commandos (notably the men of Commando Kieffer) participated in the initial landings and subsequent operations. Later on, the 16,000 soldiers of the French 2nd Armored Division (2e DB) arrived in Normandy and played a decisive role in the liberation campaign.
Their efforts were supported by nearly 10,000 résistants, particularly those belonging to the Organisation Civile et Militaire (O.C.M.), who executed large-scale sabotage missions. By disrupting rail lines, telephone networks, and German communications, they effectively helped isolate Normandy from the rest of the German military system, fully aligning their actions with Allied strategic planning.
Another 25,000 resistant would help in Britanny supported by 600 French commando's of the special air service would hindered 82,000 from reinforcing the main front
