European Central bankers so short on creative imagination that they are
condemned to always repeat the same mistakes of the past? According to
HUSSON, GENERAL MAURICE GUSTAVE GAMELIN, who was the
Commander in Chief of the French Armies, was not responsible for this
fiasco, as he was later accused of being, and then deported to Germany for
his crime. It was GENERAL ALPHONSE GEORGE, Commander of the
Northeast, who was responsible for this sabotage, with the collaboration of
GENERAL CHARLES HUNTZIGER, of the High Command of the
GRAND QUARTIER GENERAL (G.Q.G.). As a result, the following three
forms of sabotage were executed, and GENERAL GAMELIN, was
ultimately made the fall guy responsible for the defeat. HUSSON
emphasized principally three points.
1- The best French troops were deployed to the extreme northeast region of
Belgium and Holland, at any rate, north of the CHARLEVILLE- SEDAN
GAP, where their isolation and capture was made inevitable.
2- The military forces of the Mediterranean Region and of the Atlantic, were
bogged down through the malfunctioning of the National Rail System. With
the immense exodus of refugees fleeing the invasion, the entire rail system
had been reoriented to function in reverse, that is, from North to South in the
direction of the invasion movement, with virtually no trains allocated to
move toward the northern and eastern directions. This was confirmed by the
revelations of GENERAL WEYGAND on May 22, 1940.
3- A tactical GAP had been created deliberately between the 9th Army and
the 11th Army, located between CHARLEVILLE and SEDAN, that is,
between the MAGINOT LINE and the WEYGAND LINE. The G.Q.G. of
the French Army had guaranteed the Germans, as of April 1940, that this
was going to be their crucial entry point into France. This is where in a few
days, the German troops penetrated France with 70 divisions and 3,500
tanks. At the Riom trials, COLONEL RIVET, confirmed that the G.Q.G.
was aware, on April 20, 1940, that the SEDAN-CHARLEVILLE GAP was
going to be the entry point of the bulk of the German Army. This was further
substantiated by the deposition of COMMANDER WATTEAU, whose
artillery group was forbidden to establish anti-tank defense in the narrow
corridor where the Germans invaded. HUSSON gave this extraordinary
account:
