What if France and England actualy attacked?

I said debatable as several years ago when trying to find out French armoured strength I could only come up with a larger number if I included the armour in the French Colonies, I would assume with easier access to information especially online that it would be easier than the methods I used.

The figures for the Allies are the same as this but the Germans are a bit less.

These are the number of Rench tanks that were IN France in the combat units(not including those in the colonies) on 10 may 1940 (Source :number of AFV's on 10 may 1940,by David Lehman)

Renault FT 17 :462
FCM-2C :8
Tanks outside metropolitan France :537
Reinforcements in may/june (estimation):688
There also are 279 "armored cars" that could be counted as light tanks reaching a total of 3,101 tanks
The AMR33/AMR35 ZT1 are MG/armed light tanks like the Panzer I on German side .
For the Germans,Lehman is giving the following
643 PzI
880PzII
148 PzBef
349 PzIII
128 Pz35(t)
207 Pz38(t)
281 PzIV
Total:2636
Reinforcements :288

 

Considering there's more to mounting a large scale offensive than taking a pocket full of bullets and grabbing a rifle and heading for the German lines . I believe it would have taken months to mobilize than to amass the necessary rienforcements and supplies to mount such an attack , than given the World War 1 mindset of most of the allied command they would have waited for spring for better weather and drier roads, than i think it would have been a slower paced offensive not a Rommel type thrust advancing only as far as the artillary could reach than bringing the guns up before advancing again. By now the Polish campaign was over and the whole German miltiary would be moving west, especially the Luftwaffe, and it wouldn,t be long before the German airforce begins bombing the allied supply lines ,and things like bridges slowing any attack to a crawl . Than the Germans would have counterattacked on the flanks and the allies would have had to retreat or risk being surrounded. Than it's back to square one !!! No matter how you put it the Allies were thinking it was 1914-1918 all over again and tatically the Germans were a generation ahead of all that...

 

I think Tristan had it right. Stop the Germans in 1936 when they attempted to remilitarize the Rhine. After that, no joy.

 

For a lot of reasons,the French did not stop the Germans in 1936;Britain ....was not concerned.
