Blitzkrieg - Myth, Reality and Hitler's Lightning War-France, 1940 - Grand Format

In the spring of 1940, Hitler launched a devastating attack against France and the Low Countries that married superb intelligence, the latest military thinking and new technology. In just six weeks the German army achieved what their fathers had failed to accomplish in all four years of the First World War. The fall of France was a stunning victory. It altered the balance of power in Europe at a stroke and convinced the entire world that the Nazi war machine was unstoppable.
Yet, in Blitzkrieg, Lloyd Clark argues that it was far from a foregone conclusion and, alongside the full story of the campaign, he offers a gripping reassessment of the myths that have built up around one of the Second World War's greatest military victories.
