Charles Andre Joseph Marie De Gaulle was born on November 22, 1890, and was a French military general and statesman. He was the leader of Free France and the head of the Provisional Government of the French Republic. And in 1958, he founded the Fifth Republic and was elected as the 18th President of France. May 17, de Gaulle attacked German tank forces at Mountcornet with 200 tanks but no air support. Although de Gaulle's tanks forced the German infantry to retreat to Caumont, the action brought only temporary relief and did little to slow the spearhead of the German advance. Nevertheless, it was one of the few successes the French enjoyed while suffering defeats elsewhere across the country. In recognition for his efforts, de Gaulle was promoted to acting Brigadier general on 24 May, a rank he would hold for the rest of his life.
