Do you have a special interest in Belgium ? I live in Belgian Limburg and regularly cross over the canal bridges at Veldwezelt and Vroenhoven. There are still a numerous defensive fortifications along the canal.
Our local War memorial has a number of names of both troops and civilians who lost their lives in May 1940.
I always give the River Dyle a second glance when travelling towards Leuven, it being the point to which the BEF advanced on 10th/11th May. Not really much of a line to hold at all.
Have you seen the book "Mei 1940" by Peter Taghon ? I have a Dutch copy (it was also available in French) Some wonderful photos of the Achttiendaagse Veldtocht which have not appeared in UK publications. He also has a companion volume over the Liberation.
