    Really inspires confidence in the forces especially the use of AA and air superiority of the enemy, but the self same confidence applies to the basic 6000 for man power and tanks to hold the enemy

    My first thought on reading the letter, when you take the date into account, was...

    It's almost like he was predicting what was going to happen.

    But the question is 'which' French Division was prepared to hold some 11.000 yards. He states "a" division, but does not tell us which one!

    I know, sarcasm is the lowest form of wit...

    Steve.
