    Hello Brenus. These figures are completely inaccurate. Also, Stonne showed the weakness of the French Army more than its strength. I believe you are confusing German admiration for the individual fighting spirit of the French during that battle with a more generalized respect for the French Army, when in fact the Germans were shocked at the incompetence of the French forces beyond the small unit level.
