Pilote de guerre. Mission sur Arras

" We are at the end of May, in full retreat, in full disaster. We are sacrificing the equipment as if we were jetting water in a forest fire. How do you manage the risks when everything is going wrong?...In three weeks, we've lost thirty-seven pieces of equipment over fifteen-three. We've fondued like a fire... Nous savons bien que l'on ne peut faire autrement que de nous jeter dans le brasier, si même le geste est inutile. We are five, for all of France. The entire strategy of the French army rests on our shoulders!
