in order for them to be cut <strong>of</strong>f from the rest <strong>of</strong> the French Army, and be<br />

captured from the rear. This policy implied, therefore, that the LIGNE<br />

MAGINOT should not be extended to the Sea, but that a gap be left open in<br />

the northern corridor region <strong>of</strong> the ARDENNES Mountains for the invaders<br />

to come through. PETAIN had voted against an appropriation for the<br />

extension <strong>of</strong> the MAGINOT LINE called for by the DALADIER<br />

government, and which was precisely aimed at closing that northern gap.<br />

DALADIER lost the vote.<br />

It is important to note that by the time <strong>of</strong> the last government <strong>of</strong><br />

EDUARD DALADIER, in May 1939, there were no less than six key<br />

synarchist Ministers in control: 1- ALBERT PIERRE SARRAUT, Interior<br />

Minister, 2- RAYMOND PATENOTRE, Minister <strong>of</strong> National Economy and<br />

Production, 3- ANATOLE DE MONZIE, Minister <strong>of</strong> Public Works, 4-<br />

CHARLES POMARET, Minister <strong>of</strong> Labor, 5- RAOUL DAUTRY, Minister<br />

<strong>of</strong> Armament, and 6- CAMILLE CHAUTEMPS, Vice-President <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Council. Five <strong>of</strong> them were from the original C.S.A.R. GROUP OF SIX.<br />

The <strong>synarchy</strong> had, therefore, a total control <strong>of</strong> the DALADIER government<br />

<strong>of</strong> 1939. Moreover, CHAUTEMPS, MONZIE, MARCHANDEAU, and<br />

SARRAUT, had been permanent fixtures inside <strong>of</strong> every French<br />

government, at the exception <strong>of</strong> the LEON BLUM governments, from as<br />

early as the EDOUARD HERRIOT government <strong>of</strong> June 1932.<br />

5.2 GEOPOLITICAL SELECTION OF BATTLE UNITS<br />

According to HUSSON, a political selection <strong>of</strong> troops for the front<br />

lines was the keystone <strong>of</strong> the whole edifice <strong>of</strong> the deliberate defeat. It took a<br />

long time to prepare, from inside <strong>of</strong> the DEUXIEME BUREAU and the<br />

CINQUIEME BUREAU <strong>of</strong> the Army. During the first days <strong>of</strong> the war, in<br />

1939, the DEUXIEME BUREAU was split into two categories <strong>of</strong> services.<br />

The DEUXIEME BUREAU proper had the responsibility for espionage into<br />

military affairs. The CINQUIEME BUREAU was responsible for political<br />

espionage. The general policy adopted by the C.S.A.R. controller<br />

CHAUTEMPS was to use the French defeat for demographic-political ends.<br />

Of all <strong>of</strong> the different forms <strong>of</strong> sabotage, this is the form that hit most<br />

directly to the heart <strong>of</strong> the THIRD REPUBLIC. In fact, this was the most<br />

premeditated and deliberate means <strong>of</strong> purging the country <strong>of</strong> its republican<br />

capabilities, however weak they might have been. It is useful to reflect on<br />
