Battle of Abbeville 1940 sources

Does anyone have sources for this battle, which dwell on the French and Germans rather than the BEF units? I'm stuck with the OH and a few bits. Thanks

If you know French, this covers the subject pretty well:

Yes, I saw it yesterday but I was hoping for something for free like links to websites or pdfs. Apols for not making it clear.

PDF of a history of "Le 22ème RIC sur la Somme en 1940' which covers the battle you're looking for

http://www.anciens22demarine.com/PDF/19 ... _Somme.pdf

As most of the sources will be in French I suggest googling " bataille" "Abbeville" "1940" and "pdf" (or some combination of the above).
That's how I located the link posted above.
