What else do they teach you in french history class? That French soldiers liberated moscow?
France in fact had good equipment. In fact they had better and more tanks than Germany. They just failed to use them properly. They lost because of poor tactical decisions, horribly unorganized, and no strong leaders. Also france ignored the ardenns forest (or however you spell it) cause they thought germans couldn't go through it which is idiotic because you can just crash through a forest with mechanized vehicles.
You don't even have to know the details. Everything I just wrote could be implied when you learn that france got rolled in only 12 days.
