The 1940 campaign in France and Flanders packed a huge amount of movement into just a few weeks and the action cannot be separated from complicated political situation. There's always plenty to think about. |
Thanks Rich. That helps things.

I can't explain it Owen, I probably find 1940 one of the most interesting war years. I think the Battle of Britain is just fascinating along with the end to the phoney war. Just reading the early Bomber command stuff of 39/40 is so gripping also.
