Campaign 264- Fall Gelb 1940 (1): Panzer Breakthrough in the West by Douglas C. Didly
Campaign Series 264- Fall Gelb 1940 (1): Panzer Breakthrough in the West by Douglas C. Didly
Never in the history of warfare has the clash between two such apparently equally matched forces been decided so swiftly and conclusively as the German conquest of France and the Low Countries in May and June of 1940. Unwilling to launch itself headlong against the extensive fortifications of France’s Maginot Line, Hitler’s Wehrmacht moved 136 divisions through Belgium and northern France in order to detroy the Allied forces there and gain territory from which to prosecute continued combat operations against both France and England. This title follows the Fortunes of the German Heeresgruppe A as its three Panzer corps moved stealthily through the dark, hilly and thickly forested Ardennes in southern Belgium from 10 May 1940 onwards, before forcing their way across the river Meuse and racing through France to the Channel in one of the most daring campaigns in history.
This book is approx. 9-3/4” x 7-1/4” and has 96 pages.
