As far as the French surrender goes that is shrouded in myth as well.
They had one of the strongest armies in the world at the time. They were well trained and well equipped and could have put up a hell of a fight. What they also were though was in the wrong place. The Germans came in around behind them through Belgium so fast they didn't stand a chance. Contrary to popular lore they didn't see them coming throw down their weapons and run.
Want to buy a French rifle? Only been dropped once.

Why are French suits cut so tight? So that you can't raise your arms above your head
