Alphonse Joseph Georges

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alphonse Joseph Georges (Allier - Montluçon, August 15, 1875 – April 24, 1951) was a French army officer. He was commander of the North East Front in 1939 and 1940. Opposing the plan by supreme commander Maurice Gamelin to move the best allied forces into the Low Countries, he was overruled by his superior. Georges tried to allow as much initiative to his inferiors as possible to improve operational flexibility.
