Why does the french knife only have a flag and one cork screw, and the British one have many cork screws?

The French are scaredy cats and "can't"/don't like to fight. Well look at history. ;) Too many examples both recent and old. ;D

The British one was my quick edit - Brits are known for their heavy drinking.  ;D

The French may agree with your edit but not for British 'expertise'. Rather for the consequences to the bearer with contact with anything British (try grabbing hold of that -- especially with all of the screws extended). ;)
During WW2, the Italian version would only have had the white flag. There was a set of WW2 airplane caricatures; the Italian plane had a prop in front and one iin back: one to find the enemy one and to get away as soon as the enemy was seen. The Polish plane had only the prop in the back.
Not meaning to kill the humorous intent but the realitiy, of course, is that the Nazis blitzed without any real provocation against countries that were virtually unprepared. In the case of the Italians, many Italians were already ill against their own leader's (Mussolini) pomposity, so their military morale was inconsistent but they weren't consistently ineffective.

I'm not sure how much guessing is needed: you provided your email address when you first signed in and then narrowed it down a bit more in your many-in-a-short-time posts. ::) 8)

Note that he said county, not country. I'll take a guess at Suffolk as I think that's where Scrumpy Jack originated from.
