Correct name[edit]

Is this person's correct name Fernand or Ferdinand? Zargulon (talk) 13:12, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nice catch. I changed it to Fernand, which is correct. 174.102.227.64 (talk)

Rapproachment[edit]

"After World War I, he advocated a rapprochement with Germany along the lines being promoted by some of right leaning politicians such as Edouard Daladier and Paul Reynaud" Say what? Daladier and Renaud were diametrically opposed to this idea. It was the liberals like Petain and Leon Blum's Popular Front that wanted rapprochement. So I'm changing thos blatantly obvious error and we can discuss it here if I missed something. 174.102.227.64 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 08:26, 3 December 2009 (UTC).[reply]

I excised the reference to politicians that supported rapprochement altogether, as there were no citations. Seems like we should add it back in when there are citations. Shouldn't we also stick with the actual parties involved without putting labels like "left-wing" on people like Petain, who certainly was not left wing? And with regard to Blum, we should find citations for his support of rapprochement.--Genobeeno (talk) 00:08, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ribbentropp[edit]

The article states that de Brinon became friends with Ribbentrop. While the part about friendship may be true, it's news to me that Ribbentropp was a member of the German delegation to the Paris Peace Conference, 1919. I believe that statement is untrue and should be removed. Dr. Dan (talk) 16:04, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
