		France's pride, the Maginot Line, deprived of its interval divisions, was outflanked from the west, as Hitler had predicted, then penetrated in the undefended Saar gap, which the French unaccountably failed to flood.

		In 1939, neither Britain nor France were ready for war, and the two uneasy allies had no offensive plan in the event of a conflict.

		But at Sedan, in the glorious May of 1940, the fortunes of war favoured the bold.

	CNN.com - French village swept for bombs - June 4, 2001
		SEDAN, France - A French village has been evacuated as soldiers prepare to clear unexploded German munitions from World War I. Some 130 police posted at two entrances to the village collected badges, distributed earlier at the town hall, from the nearly 600 residents of Chatelet-sur-Retourne, in the Ardennes region of north-east France.
		Munitions dating from the last century's two world wars are routinely discovered in France -- but the recent evacuations are the first of their kind in years, according to Associated Press.
		In Vimy, the clearance operation involved the removal of toxic chemicals, according to AP, which noted that villagers in Chatelet-sur-Retourne, unlike in Vimy, were given plenty of advance notice to prepare for the evacuation.
