Corap complained about the weaknesses of his troops to Gamelin. Do you know what was Gamelin answer ? "Les Ardennes ne m'intéressent pas" "I'm not interested in the Ardennes." Can you believe that ?
So Corap complained higher, to Daladier. And guess what Daladier told him ? "Corap, you are now commander of the ninth army, right ? well, this is the proletatian army, poor, and ill equiped. Congratulations !"
