Charles de Gaulle

De Gaulle attacked again and his forces were once again devastated

Sunday May 19, 1940
Montcornet, France

Charles attacked again on 19 May and his forces were once again devastated by German Stukas and artillery. He ignored orders from General Georges to withdraw, and in the early afternoon demanded two more divisions from Touchon, who refused his request.
