	Maurice Gamelin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gamelin's vision for France's defense was based upon a static defense along the Franco-German border, which was reinforced by the Maginot Line, and an aggressive advance northward into Belgium and the Netherlands to met the attacking German forces as far removed from French territory as possible.
		Gamelin was removed from his post on May 18, 1940 by Paul Reynaud, who had replaced Edouard Daladier as Prime Minister earlier in the month.
		Gamelin was both preceded and succeeded as generalissimo by Maxime Weygand.

	Wikipedia: Maurice Gamelin
		The generalissimo of the French armed forces in WWII Gamelin was one of the most intellectual generals of his time.
		Despite this, and his competent service in WWI, his command of the French armies during the critical days of May 1940 is hard to describe without using the word 'inept'.
		Gamelin was not willing to commit bombers to attack German territory for fear of reprisals.

	Battle of France - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Supreme Commander of France's army, Maurice Gamelin, like the rest of the French government, was expecting a campaign from the Germans that in the strategic sense would mirror the First World War.
		Contrarily, General Gamelin and Lord Gort, the commander of the British Expeditionary Force, were shaken into realizing that whatever the Germans came up with instead would not be what they had initially expected.
		Gamelin was criticized for making Château de Vincennes his HQ, despite the fact it lacked either radio or telephone communications and relied upon motorcycle courier.

	Cut of the Sickle
		Georges warned Gamelin that sending the Seventh Army far from the center of the Allied front, which was opposite the Ardennes Forest, was a potentially disastrous move.
		What is mind-boggling, however, is Gamelin's refusal to keep the Seventh Army in general reserve after he began to receive intelligence reports as early as November 1939 that indicated the Germans had shifted the center of their planned attack farther south.
		Gamelin did nothing to reinforce the Sedan sector even after he received another intelligence report, on the last day of April, warning that the German attack was set for May 8-10 and that Sedan would be at its center.

		This is the first full-length reappraisal in English of the role of France's chief of defense forces, General Maurice Gamelin (1872-1958).
		Reviled by many of his contemporaries and by two generations of historians as "the man who lost the Battle of France" in 1940, Gamelin is here presented as a man seeking to provide France with security and armed readiness in the face of the aggression and expansionism of Hitler's Third Reich.
		The reader sees him playing the decisive part in overcoming civil-military friction in the prewar years so that France was able to choose the path of resistance to Germany in September 1939.

		The relationship between Reynaud and General Maurice Gamelin, head of the French army, quickly deteriorated and Reynaud pushed hard to get Gamelin replaced.
		The French government actually fell over the issue on May 9, 1940, one day before the start of the German offensive, but Gamelin remained in place to preside over the disastrous first week of fighting between the French and Germans.
		As a matter of fact, you face a divided and rather confused command structure.

		In 1923 Weygand was appointed as high commissioner in Syria and held the post until becoming Chief of General Staff in 1930.
		This was in fact what General Gamelin ordered on the morning of May 19, but he was replaced that evening by General Maxime Weygand, who immediately cancelled the order.
		By the time they moved, communications between the various national commands had become chaotic and the several Allied armies, hard pressed as they were, began to act at cross-purposes.
