RE: The Maginot Line
The documentary also made clear the total breakdown of French high command in 1940. They eventually abandoned the Maginot Line in an attempt to turn these well trained elite fortress troops into rifle divisions. The 500,000 men were all captured within a few days of leaving the fortifications. The French could have and should have attempted to use the Line as a fulcrum for their new defense. DeGaulle described the French high command in 1940 as a submarine without a periscope. J
