Abstract 520    $a[v .1.]"The French Army of 1939 was considered by contemporaries to be the strongest army in the world at that time. In fact, as the events of the next ten months soon revealed, the Army was riddled with fatal weaknesses. In this book, the first of two volumes examining the French Army of World War II (1939-1945), Ian Sumner and Francois Vauvillier examine the organisation, uniforms and equipment of the army of 1939-40 and Vichy France. It includes orders of battle and formation charts as wellas many illustration and colour uniform artworks. [v. 2.] By 16 June 1940, De Gaulle, with the decisive support of Churchill, had come to the conclusion that, whatever happened, France could not stand to one side in the struggle against Nazi Germany. And so Free France was born. In [v. 2.] Ian Sumner and Francois Vauvillier examine the history, uniforms and insignia of the Free French, Fighting French and the Army of Liberation."--Publisher's notes
