Weygand Plan

The Weygand Plan was a French military strategy developed during World War II in 1940, proposed by General Maxime Weygand. It aimed to reorganize and strengthen French defenses against advancing German forces after the initial defeats in the Battle of France. The plan involved a retreat to a more defensible position along the Loire River, enabling a better defense and regrouping of troops. However, it ultimately failed to stop the German invasion and led to the rapid fall of France. The plan reflects the challenges of military strategy in the face of overwhelming enemy action.
