"Leopold III and his brave, efficient army, nearly half a million strong, guarded our left flank and thus kept open our only line of retreat to the sea. Suddenly, without prior consultation, without the advice of his ministers and upon his own personal act, he sent a plenipotentiary to the German command, surrendered his army and exposed our whole flank and means of retreat".
