Alphonse Joseph Georges
(15th, August 1875 in Allier, Montlucon - 24th April , 1951 in Paris)
was a French army officer. He was commander in chief 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.
Georges tried to allow as much initiative to his
subordinates as possible to improve operational
flexibility.
