Battle of Montcornet

De Gaulle ordered infantry to neutralise German defence pockets in Chivres, and D2 tanks to secure Clermont-les-Fermes.

Around 16:00, De Gaulle ordered a new attack on Montcornet, but the tank crews having not received detailed maps of the sector, and coming under fire from 88mm Flak guns, the offensive was unfruitful.
