"French Cancel Leaves in Army as Nazis Mass Troops"

"By G.H. Archambault"

"...Total war in the West may be only a matter of hours, the latest evidence shows...

"...In any case, surprise is now out of the question. The allies and neutrals are all prepared. Moreover, during the long period of inaction, they have had time to consider every possibility and devise a parry for every thrust...

"...It is no secret that for this purpose the Allies have in reserve a very powerful mass of manoeuvre, with adequate mechanized equipment, ready to move in any direction at an instant's notice..."

Mr. Archambault's report seems a bit optimistic. I wonder if he actually talked to the generals, or just imagined what they should have done, had he been one...?

‘Moreover, during the long period of inaction, they have had time to consider every possibility and devise a parry for every thrust..’
Perhaps they were not COMPLETELY prepared for a massive tank led flanking attack through the Low Countries.

Last September Gaston Archambault wrote articles describing in detail the massive Allied assault deep into German territory. I imagine his contacts in the French high command are still providing him with information sufficient to support his hard-hitting journalistic efforts.
