Wow, the rout sure is on. I see another green wishful thinking line to try set up a defense line on the Somme, but I don’t see the units to man it. Pulling out of Paris was a necessity. The Germans didn’t have the troops there to defend it, especially with the FFI rising up. And Patton has Rommel’s old HQ in his grasp.

Even the Volkischer Beobachter admits the Battle of France is over and the German army there is spent. Interesting how Ike had a conference with his top generals and came out tight-lipped.
