Cleanup
This is in need of dire work. It's not wiki, it's not historical, it reads like an excerpt from a thriller. 203.122.219.178 18:03, 5 February 2007 (UTC) It's easy to criticize ; go ahead : start the painstaking work you suggest ! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.247.193.152 (talk) 14:55, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Discussion
The author seems to forget that the action took place 4 months before the June landing of allied forces in Normandy and 7 months before the landing in Provence, thus having little to do with American advance and German retreat.

The author of this critical remark seems not to read carefully :

1) As a matter of fact, there are not 4 months from March 26, 1944 (German attack on Glières) to June 6, 1944 (Landing in Normandy) ! There are not 7 months from March 26, 1944 to August 15, 1944 (Landing in Provence) !

2) It's written in black and white : This defeat would be transformed into a moral victory and give a boost to the French Resistance, meaning : LATER, in the spring 1944 ; so, as a result of that : It is a mark of the Maquis' success in the French Alps that the speed of the American advance and the rapid retreat of the Germans was far beyond the expectations of Allied planning staff.

in fiction
this was depicted with veterans acting in a pierre schoendoerffer movie, i don't remember if it was Là-haut (above the clouds) or l'honneur d'un capitaine (a captain'honor). thanks for checking (i don't have the dvds here). Cliché Online (talk) 11:20, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

style, npov
Te article seems to have variety of sentence which are not appropriate for an encycloped in style and tone. That should be addressed together with the sourcing issue.--Kmhkmh (talk) 22:10, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
