Description

Explore a significant gap in Second World War studies with this scholarly work from Routledge. While the collapse of the French army in 1940 is widely studied, this book turns its focus to the period prior to the German offensive of May 1940. By examining the Phoney War era, the research provides a deep look into the mental and emotional state of the French military before the major combat operations began. This historical study utilizes diverse public and private sources in multiple languages to build a complete picture of military life. It examines morale across different levels of command, from the French Government and the Grand Quartier General down to the regiment and the individual soldier. Readers will gain a better understanding of how morale was managed on the frontline during this specific window of time. Additionally, the text investigates the role of psychological warfare by looking at German and British propaganda directed at the French military. This book is an essential resource for historians, students, and anyone interested in the complex history of France during the early stages of World War II.
