>I think the demographic problem was more indirect, since it caused the French to hyper prioritize the Maginot line out of casualty aversion. Which had a ton of cutting edge high tech fortifications that ate up a lot of specialist/technically trained manpower that might have otherwise been available for armor units. Which is where I'd guess the extreme crew crunching for French tanks mainly came from.
Nah. That's because France had a mostly conscript army, but the government being ever paranoid about the army doing a coup they kept lowering the conscription time which hurts all the technical branches.
I really don't think the Maginot line required more technically trained manpower anyways. It's mostly artillery and MG groups. A lot of the line was also manned by older reservists too.
