| Abstract | "The collapse of the French Army in 1940 is a well-researched topic in Second World War Studies but a surprising gap in the historiography emerges when it comes to the study of the French military prior to the May 1940 German offensive. Using various public and private sources in different languages, this book addresses this gap by studying morale on the frontline and its management by the French government, the Grand Quartier G©♭n©♭ral, at the scale of the regiment and on a personal level. It also investigates German and British propaganda in French and aimed at the French sector of the frontline to offer the first comprehensive comparative study of French army morale in any language"-- Provided by publisher. |
