Oh 9/11 one of the key parts of military strategy is: as endorsed by Sun Tzu, Clausewitz, Napoleon, Frederick, Gustavus and a few others is, and I paraphrase, 'Don't attack people who can kill you'.
Attacking people who can defeat you is nice in a knightly way but stupid beyond belief.
Hitler made that amateur mistake and paid for it. Kind of a dense dude wasn't he?

December 13, 2010: For the first time since World War II (and over four years of German occupation), a German combat unit has been stationed in France. The German 291st Infantry Battalion, part of the 6,000 strong Franco-German brigade has moved into a base in eastern France. The Franco-German brigade was set up at the end of the Cold War, in 1987, as a symbol of growing French-German unity, and dedication to mutual defense. But until now, none of the German units were ever based in France. French units were often based in Germany, which was not unique. At the end of World War II in 1945, French units occupied part of Germany until the 1955. The Franco-German brigade now part of a more recent multi-national military organization; Euro Corps (founded in 1992).
