During September, the. French brought down 28 'planes. This figure, it is pointed out, refers only to those German 'planes which came down in French territory and whose fate is established.
The French are still far in advance of the Maginot Line and have suf- fered few losses.
It is now revealed that the French actually withdrew from their most advanced. positions over a week before the Germans realised that they were almost empty lines.
