Certain to become the definitive work in English on the Battle
of France, this volume is a long overdue and much needed correction
to all previous English accounts. With extensive use of primary
sources and strong secondary sources, it places us closer to the
actual operational planning, preparation, and deployment of one of
the most successful military operations in recent history. It
covers major changes made by the German Army after the Polish
Campaign; and the infighting surrounding these changes; the
reorganization and preparation of the Army for the Battle of
France. It also provides the only detailed day-by-day breakdown of
German action during the battle's first five critical days.
According to S. J. Lewis, it provides a totally new perspective to
these battles and a unique view of the German Army.
This volume covers extensive ground and uses numerous appendices
and detailed biographical sketches to set the stage for its primary
focus--a five day period during the Battle of France. Similar to
the Allied Invasion of Normandy, the campaign plan for the Battle
of France required six months to develop and elaborate. As a
result, this reading provides an ideal opportunity to observe the
World War II German Army performing its military work and an
insightful look at the friction inherent in campaign planning and
on the battlefield.
