From Griffiths "Marshal Petain" (1970)

On Churchill´s note on 11th June 1940 that the situation in war was like that in March 1918:

"Yes, the front was re-established. You, the English were routed. But I sent forty divisions to get you out of trouble.Today, it is we who are being broken to bits. Where are your forty divisions?" said Marshal Petain.

As recalled by De Gaulle.
