		Arras (Dutch: Atrecht) is a town and commune in northern France, préfecture (capital) of the Pas-de-Calais département.
		For many centuries, Arras was on the border between France and the Netherlands and it frequently changed hands before firmly becoming French in the late 17th century, the fortifications upgraded by Vauban helping keep it in French hands.
		During the First World War, Arras was near the front and a long series of battles fought nearby are known as the Battle of Arras in which a series of medieval tunnels beneath the city, unknown to the Germans, became a decisive factor in the French holding the city.

		Conceived originally as an attempt to strengthen the British defense of Arras which was threatened by the extension of the German panzer corridor from the Meuse towards the sea, the Arras counter-attack turned into the most fruitful British operation of the 1940 campaign.
		Moving east of Arras and southward with the aim of 'mopping up' Germans in the vicinity, its leading elements were surprised to find that the Germans were present in the area in great and organized strength.
		They, consisting principally of Rommel's Seventh Panzer Division and part of the SS Totenkopf Division, were most surprised to be attacked however, and reacted weakly and confusedly.
