  • Fantasque Time Line | 1940
    Il y a dix ans Les folles improvisations du terrible été 40 Par l’Ingénieur en chef de l’Armement Joseph Molinié, directeur de l’AMX Article publié dans le numéro de juillet/août 1950 du mensuel Techniques de l’Ingénieur Dans la première quinzaine de juin 1940, alors que le destin de la France se jouait à la fois sur les champs de bataille et dans l’ombre des cabinets ministériels, l’armée avait déjà perdu la quasi-totalité de son matériel moderne à Dunkerque. Les usines du Nord étaient occupées et celles de la Région parisienne sont en passe de l’être. Les machines-outils et les ouvriers se repliaient tant bien que mal sur les routes de l’exode ; certains ouvriers partaient même aux commandes des derniers engins produits en état de rouler pour gagner le sud. Quand, dans cette atmosphère de débâcle et de fin du monde, on apprit la décision du gouvernement de continuer la lutte jusqu’au bout, y compris en Afrique du Nord, un sursaut d’énergie organisatrice conduisit les responsables de tous niveaux à reprendre les plans de production et à recréer des usines dans des locaux de fortune pour relancer la production des moindres matériels susceptibles de ralentir l’avance allemande. Ce sursaut fit tache d’huile. Tous les moyens publics ou privés, industriels ou artisanaux, capables de découper, souder, meuler, percer, fraiser et riveter existant en France non encore occupée et qui n’étaient pas en cours d’évacuation furent mis à contribution pour blinder et armer tout ce qui était en état de rouler et d’être envoyé au front.

    Index DU N° 74 AU N° 85 INCLUS GBM : L’INDEX N° 1 LES 1000 PREMIÈRES PAGES Vous livrant cet index à entrées multiples (par personnalité, par corps de troupe, par lieu, par type de matériel), je vous dévoile toute la mesure du projet — devenu réalité — représenté par GBM tel que je l’ai imaginé dès son premier numéro, le 74. De fait, le résultat dépasse mes espérances. Tous les articles, tous les sujets, toutes les approches, se renvoient les unes aux autres de manière logique et organisée. Je vous invite, non pas à lire attentivement cet index — ce serait un pensum — mais à regarder, à tra- vers tel ou tel exemple de votre choix, la manière dont il est structuré et le résultat auquel il permet d’arri- ver en matière de recherche rapide et, aussi, de visualisation du propos. Il n’existe pas, du moins pas à ma connaissance, d’autre magazine papier sur un sujet-passion qui offre un tel maillage des sujets qu’il aborde. Il s’agit, au sens propre du terme, d’un réseau, d’une toile (un « net » ou un « web » pour parler globish) où chaque fil se croise et se recroise. Mais ceci ne serait qu’artifice de présentation s’il n’y avait autre chose, en amont, de beaucoup plus fondamental : une documentation tout à la fois plurielle et unique, réunion dans un même support du fruit des travaux profondément inédits d’une pléïade de chercheurs passionnés qui se vouent à l’étude de l’armée française, de ses hommes, de ses unités, de ses matériels.
