re: Can anyone explain Alabama fans’ infatuation with using French heritage as an insult?

Hitler didn’t even want war with France, mainly because they’re a Germanic people. It’s doubtful the French would’ve started speaking German because Hitler offered peace several times, yet France and Britain kept refusing peace. Hitler would’ve pulled all German forces out of France. It’s all pure speculation, the only proof we have says that French is still spoken in France, despite German occupation.
