Interesting to see Daladier conferring with his chief general, Gamelin. In the next year the chief responsibility for the defense of western civilization would be in Gamelin’s hands, and Gamelin was well prepared to fight a World War. Unfortunately for the West it was World War I that Gamelin was prepared to fight!
