French Infantry Section

Fighting alongside their British allies, the French army performed a brave rear-guard action in the remarkable withdrawal from Europe at Dunkirk. As the British headed back to England and the Germans closed in on Paris the French forces battled on stubbornly. The French army started World War II as the most powerful army in the world. They were well equipped, with excellent tanks and artillery. The Infantry divisions were numerous and confident of fighting off the hated Boche 22 years before. This was different though, the French found themselves fighting off German armoured units, which had outmanoeuvred them, allow the Blitzkrieg to roll across Europe.
