Life

Mittelhauser, who studied at the Saint-Cyr and École supérieure de guerre military school and served in Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco, was appointed Chief of Staff of the Czechoslovak Army as the second in command of the French military mission in Czechoslovakia in 1920 , succeeding the French general Maurice Pellé . Until 1926 he worked as a mission commander and until the end of 1925 as chief of staff of the Czechoslovak army.

At the beginning of the Second World War , Mittelhauser was called back to work from retirement. He took part in fighting and the withdrawal of French troops from Holland. In June 1940 Mittelhauser replaced General Raymond Massiet as supreme commander of the Armée du Levant . Mittelhauser supported Charles de Gaulle's plan to continue the war on the side of Great Britain. However, he finally decided against it after the commander in chief of the troops in North Africa had informed him that his armed forces would not be able to continue the war against Germany. He was replaced on July 1, 1940 by the Vichy government by Massiet.
