Iron and the Briey Basin Crown of France War Policy
Senator Henry Berenger argues in Matin that iron is the war’s key resource and France must hold the Briey Basin to deny Germany its steel. He cites prewar and wartime iron and steel outputs, German documents, and a strategic link between Verdun Metz control and overall war duration. He asserts retaining Briey cripples German munitions and could end the conflict.
