Still, it's something I should have done a bit more research on. I knew it existed, I just failed to realize how what I was writing was connected to the real world. That's something I do more then I'd like to admit in my writing.
But anyway, yeah the French were not idiots from what I read. They were competent and capable, they just weren't prepared for the forces that attacked them.
I'll probably get another part or two up later today.
EDIT: Oh yeah, I think I changed everything over ot using UIJ, if I missed anything let me know.
