Gerald, Which army, division or whatever would you be with in May 1940? I have a high regard for the much maligned French soldier in the battle for France...Easy to blame him for the faults of high command and a political system... and a major ally who was perhaps not as committed as they should have been to a land battle...One only has to look at Liddel Hearts ...spelling...view in the thirties to see my own countries views on any assistance the army should give on any war in mainland Europe..Easy to forget Lille and other examples of French soldiery..
