Do any of the Grogs out there have a source with a diagram or map of this action?

This was DeGaulle's attack against the German left flank against units of the XIX corps (?)

Any details on the German unit attacked?

Hey Andreas found it on the Internet, 10th Panzers - would you care to hazard a estimate of their decline in combat power after 7 days of war? Percentage wise of course!

The units as far as I can tell were the

10th Panzer Aufklarung Bn(?)
90th Panzer Aufklarung Bn
666 Pioneer Bn
56 Flak Bn

picked that out of french source so I'm not absolutely sure of what the first unit actually is?

If you ask more, I will have to go through my book boxes after all trying to find it, and then you'll owe me beers if we ever meet. One beer per box that I open.

Your choice.

Ps. I make sure to start from the wrong end.
