    Tanks and aircraft was simply tools used in the war, however the major strategy that allowed the Germans to position themselves the way they had is completely relevant to painting some semblance of a picture of the situation since it's obvious half the people involved in this snowballed discussion have little knowledge of the war.

    Try again.

    Earlier I wanted to stay focused on WWII since that's what the discussion was about, but I thought I'd throw this in as well since the other discussion has pretty much passed:

    "Historians usually agree that the revolutionary era began in 1763 as Britain defeated France in the French and Indian War, and the military threat to the colonies from France ended. The end of the period is usually marked by as Treaty of Paris in 1783."

    You are correct. This from Wikipedia...glad those Frenchies helped with the American Revolution

    "Historians usually agree that the revolutionary era began in 1763 as Britain defeated France in the French and Indian War, and the military threat to the colonies from France ended. The end of the period is usually marked by as Treaty of Paris in 1783. However, references to the "revolutionary era" sometimes stretch to 1789, when a new national government under George Washington began operating."

    I'm referring to the strategy that Germany deployed on the French that put them into the situation that required America's involvement in the war, specifically America's involvement in driving German forces out of France, and more importantly for this discussion's sake, the situation that the original poster was commenting about which spawned this series of discussion. Perhaps you should pay attention to the discussion before projecting yourself to a position to delegate "advice."

    Sorry, but this is even further off-topic. My response was replying to his snide comment about Americans taking credit when France was "done beating the ennemy 80% you come in and finish the last 20%." My statement still holds true: Americans intervened in WWII at a crucial time to France when they had been outflanked by German troops who had cleverly setup decoys and false intelligence.

    Whether or not France helped with the American Revolution (which I'm not arguing they didn't) has little to no relevance to my statements above. Unless you can somehow show that France's involvement in the Revolutionary War also attributed to a "misconception" that Americans didn't actually help win WWII and that they didn't save France who had recently surrendered, and that France had "beat the enemy 80%" then please stop posting about this.

    If you're going to debate, please keep it on track and don't bring utterly useless information that doesn't pertain to the argument at hand.

    Not to get totally off topic, but ever heard of a thing called the Invasion at Normandy? You know, where Allied troops stormed the beach to begin driving the Germans OUT of France?

    But yeah, the Frenchies had it all under control...maybe we were late because we were still pissed about that whole WWI/Great War business.

    I'm sorry, but this is clearly the definition he was impying:

    paradigm ( P ) Pronunciation Key (pr-dm, -dm)
    n.
    One that serves as a pattern or model.

    He was referring to how it was setting a standard, not changing life or science drastically.
