Normandy '44: European Theater combines a higher level of realism with a more elaborate doctrine system, which incorporates almost 50 different military units that took part in the period of Jun-Sept 1944. This spectrum ranges from divisions of free Polish and French units serving under the main allied armies to volunteers from the Eastern Front that served in the German Wehrmacht. This is only a small portion of the doctrine variety however, as we feature numerous well known units of all factions as well. The mod also features numerous new abilities and custom made units each with a completely revamped size and structure. Between custom made units and structures with historically correct skins, Normandy '44 offers over 150 NEW UNITS, making for an almost endless variety of different scenarios and unit actions. Combined these factors provide for an experience unlike any other mod for CoH!
Here's some vehicles from one of our unique subdoctrines - the 2e Division Blindée (2nd Free French Armored Division). It is a subdoctrine of the US 2nd Armored Division
Looks good!, Never knew the french used alot of ours tho XD
The Free French troops really didn't have a choice with the Jerry's occupying their country :P The Brits didn't have the manufacturing capability to produce the majority of their own armor either. But they sure knew how to use them.

the only french model is that Hotchkiss H-39, thats not very patriotic :P
Most of the French equipment was left in France, which was before 1944. AFAIK the Free French were provided for under the lend lease program.
the marshall plan...
Marshall plan came after WWII ...
Just to say that before Germany invade us, we had the most powerful army in the world (we had more tanks than Germany, and they were more powerful ; USA only began building Shermans, battleships, weapons, ... after declaring war to Germany and Japan)
we had the most powerfull "terrestrial" army at this time, but it's with their aviation and our commandement incapacity that german defeat us.
Lots of french soldiers in the ground ant in the air try to do what they can to fight, and if dunkerque evacuation wasn't so bad it's because 2 french division stay behind to cover the escape, and be capture.
