Salut

Bon soir a tous,

Hope it's ok if i write in english, i can understand french well enough, but not good enough to have a proper conversation. I'm a romanian aviation enthusiast, have been recommended this forum by Loic from the FTL forum. As your forum seems to be THE resource on the french armed forces in 1940 (a fairly obscure subject apparently- and unfairly- at least in the english speaking world), hope i could find some answers to a few question i have. Also hope i could be able to contribute something useful.

Hello and welcome,

I think you're the first romanian people in this forum.

I hope we'll be able to propose you the answers to your questions. Most of the time, English point of vue about the french campagne of 1940 is a bit sublective...

Otherway, don't hesitate to propose us the informations you could have. Everyrbody can help us to have a better understanding about this history.

Regards

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the welcome. Yes it's hard to spot one of us romanians, we only tend to come out after dark!

Bonjour,

Nous faisons des recherche sur le soldat Léon Bonnet (52 ème RAMD) fait prisonnier en 1940 dans l'est de la France et malheureusement mort en déportation après un long périple en Allemagne.

Plusieurs fois déjà nous avons trouvé des infos intéressantes sur ce forum que nous venons rejoindre pour essayer d’approfondir nos recherches sur sa période de mobilisation 39/40 !

Léon Bonnet était le grand père de ma femme originaire du Mans .

a bientôt j’espère - Jipé / Sylvie
