EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the stern and resolute visage of General Maurice Gustave Gamelin, the supreme head of the French fighting forces at the onset of World War Two. Dressed in his full military regalia, complete with brass buttons, gold braid, and a distinctive red sash, Gamelin cuts an imposing figure as he gazes intently off into the distance. The year is 1939, and the looming specter of conflict casts a long shadow over the General's countenance. Born in 1872, Gamelin had already earned a distinguished military career during World War One, serving with valor and leading his troops to several significant victories. However, his command of forces during the critical days of May 1940 proved to be disastrous. As the German Blitzkrieg swept through France, Gamelin's strategic decisions and lack of coordination among Allied forces led to a rapid and devastating defeat. Despite his earlier successes, Gamelin's reputation was forever tarnished by the events of World War Two's early days. Yet, this photograph, taken before the tide of war had turned against him, offers a glimpse into a time when hope still lingered, and the outcome of the conflict was far from certain. The weight of responsibility and the pressure of command are palpable in Gamelin's expression, as he stands there, poised to lead his country into battle once more. This powerful image serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities and uncertainties of war, and the heavy burden that rests upon the shoulders of those who bear the responsibility of command.
