It came along the northern flank through the Moselle Valley-an offensive that an official French communique described as "an attack supported by artillery fire." French outposts were slowly driven back toward the Maginot Line. From the rear came reinforcements and a counterattack and at the end of the day the German infantry had been stopped, at least for the time. But they had pushed back about a mile and a quarter into...
