Daiadier, told the Parliamentary Commission inquiring into the reasons for France's defeat that only one member of the French General Staff had told the . triith since 1942 — the late Air General Andre Watteau — and his reports had miraculously been mislaid. The General Staff's reports of the 1940 military operations had never been found. He said that in May, 1940, France had 3600 tanks against the Germans' 3500, but, the French General Staff had the wrong ideas about their use.
