    They won against France only because Allied generals thought it was a good idea to stick their neck into an obvious trap, and then German generals decided that they were absolute geniuses and could win whatever they want.

      Yeah it turns out it really easy to win battles when you just surprise attack unmobilized neutral countries. When countries become mobilized and ally against you, horse carriages and bolt actions no longer cut it.

        Tiger tanks were the ZYBERTRUKKKS of their time, with similar performance reliability. pit

          Dont know about that. Elon would never think to use a train to transport his vehicles with their own wheels. He's going to make a bigger cybertruck (cymi-truck) for you to use on the uberloop.

            He did claim that it would be easy to make actual combat vehicles out of ZYBERTRUKKKs, so I suppose those fall more into the category of the many, many "wunderwaffen" grifts that were being floated around the Fuhererbunker near the end of the war.

              You know, I'd probably pay money to watch cybertrucks drive into battle for America. It'd be hilarious when the transmission gives out and the whole thing just explodes when it gets hit by BBs from an airsoft rifle.

        No, France was already completely mobilized by the end of 1939, combined forces of France and Britain were stronger than German army, but their military leadership managed to send most of the army straight into encirclement in May 1940. Germans expected a major but limited victory, not a complete destruction of main Allied force, which happened only due to monumental blunders.
