2. It is inexact that Mr. Charles Reibel was an "eye"
 
witness" of anything whatever.  He profited from culpable
 
and, for the most part, capricious indiscretions.
 
     3. It is inexact that General Weygand wrote to me, 
 
on May 29 and June 7, "more and more pressing letters"
 
asking me to conclude an armistice.
 
     He wrote to me, on the contrary, June 10, that he was
 
"Far from having lost all hope," and he stated, June 11,
 
in the evening, at the Supreme Council at Briare at which
 
you were present: "We are in the last quarter hour: there
 
is no saving that we cannot win out in this last quarter hour."
 
     Such a flagrant untruth on such an important point of
 
the history of the war is grievous for the reputation of
 
our country.
 
     It is all the more inexplicable because I had written
 
to you, on September 6, 1940, to point out to you that the
 
national broadcasting (stations) had spread it for the
 
first time.  They drew the conclusion therefrom, at the
 
time, that "if one had listened to Wegand, Italy would 
 
not have entered the war," which is false, since she
 
declared war on June 10, and denotes, moreover, let it
 
be said en passant, a singular lack of knowledge of the 
 
psychology of the Italian leaders.  They would not have
refrained from sharing in the spoils because we had asked
 
for an armistice from Germany.
