AUSA Noon Report: G�n�ral Louis Dio: The Wartime Epic of One of Free France�s Greatest Soldiers, 1940-1946

AUSA’s Noon Report webinar series features presentations by senior Army leaders responsible for key programs and initiatives, as well as contemporary military authors who weave together the past, present and future story of the United States Army.

G�n�ral Louis Dio is the WWII French commander who worked with G�n�ral Philippe Leclerc to assemble the Free French forces that fought both the Axis powers and their Vichy collaborators. Together, their French 2nd Armored Division liberated the city of Paris, then turned eastward until they reached Hitler’s famed Eagle’s Nest. Dio took control of the division after the war, becoming the youngest general in the French Army.

Please join us on Tuesday, 28 October, at 12:00 p.m. EDT. Monique Brouillet Seefried and COL (ret.) Jason R. Musteen will discuss G�n�ral Dio, the role of the Free French in WWII, and the long history of Franco-American military cooperation.
