    90k dead is not “a lot of casualties” for a world war.

    They suffered 20 times that in ww1.

    The soviets suffered 20 times that in the battle for a single city.

    The French rolled over because they knew the nazis were not after them. They wanted to let the savage beast go maul Eastern Europe.

      I include wounded as "casualties" but I don't really disagree with you, I just wanted to give some credit to their effort. I'll remove the word "valiant" from my previous post. I stand corrected.
