1940: Both places were quite intact. Come to think of it, the damage due to the Blitz krieg was rather insignificant. Here is an important distinction in the strategic thinking of both parties:
Germans were after a viable economy.
Allies were after destroying it.
Usually, the Rotterdam damage is attributed to the Germans to support a narrative that Royal ass kisser Winkeman had no other choice but to surrender.
The damage you see in both pics, is due to Allied Bombing Raids (also compare Arnhem at the time of Operation Market Garden with Arnhem after the Allied Bombing Raid) and due to operation Overlord, June 6th 1944.
Considering Europe's military has been a second thought, their operational capacity and inventories have been neglected and have diminished over the years. Additionally they've allowed their energy to be diminished, and their bank accounts are low. They really aren't in any position to start, maintain and fight any war with anyone.
The majority of this damage was done by Allied Aircraft carpet bombing. Not much has changed, other than now it seems to be artillery doing much of the destruction.
The problem with modern day France, and much of europe, is that they did not kill off enough of their nazi collaborators after world war 2. Their failure to take decisive action against Reich operatives have led us to the situation we see today- authoritarian European leaders promoting yet another European militarized nazi state- Ukraine.
The sooner the rest of the world realizes what really lies at the root of the Ukraine problem, the sooner the world can come together to kill the fourth reich, before it does more damage than it already has.
I believe Mr soprano called you surrender monkeys. Not sure if I remember correctly. Did you surrender? Give up your women to the third reich? I wonder what it's like to "" give up"" surrender and just give your homes and children, and freedoms to your enemy. Huh...
This is not France. This is Rotterdam city center in second world war.
The last time France was openly in a hot kinetic war was Lybia and Mali.
That's why the meme exist that the french always surrender, otherwise the eiffeltower would've been bent like a fork after ww2! xD
You are correct this is in the Neterlannds But here the town of Caen France in 1944 even more damage than the Netherlands

This same thinking causes: It's Trumps Fault!

The bankers will just get together and orchestrate another false flag to dupe Americans back into international war.
Exactly! I have been warning my family to expect one.

Why should I want to support a country that doesn’t value their own history and culture
