In 1937, Colonel de Gaulle moved from theory to practice. The man behind the "paper tank" — who in 1934 had written a veritable manifesto in favour of the armoured corps, Vers l'armée de métier, his most celebrated work — spent two years in Metz commanding a tank regiment, the 507e RCC. There, equipped with the powerful 20-tonne D 2 tanks built by...

Gamelin, or the quintessence of military disaster. Maurice Gamelin (1872–1958) remains a figure indelibly associated with the crushing defeat of May 1940. It is worth looking beyond that commonplace and asking: how did this officer, regarded as one of the most brilliant of his generation, for whom everything had succeeded since his earliest youth and who...

The uniform button is something of the poor relation of militaria collecting. Small and highly varied, the enthusiast generally seeks it out only to complete a uniform. Yet it constitutes in its own right a fully-fledged collecting theme. More than a century after the publication of Captain Falloux's work, « Le bouton d'uniforme français », a gap remained...
