Some intresting reviews on thsi on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Blitzkrieg-Legend ... F8&s=books I particularly like this line The book is also an excellent account of the campaign, and points out many interesting facts, such as: --the French supreme headquarters was not equipped with a single radio at the outbreak of the war; --another senior headquarters had a single telephone line, which became inoperable every day betwee 12:00 and 14:00 while the battle was raging because the swithboard girl insisted on her lunch break;
two hour lunch? Now thats the job for me You'd have thought they would have been suspicious that Helga the french phone girl kept dissapearing at the worst times FNG
I'm told that the French make a pretty big deal of lunch - they would probably see the British practice of rushing down a sandwich and a cup of tea then straight back to work as uncivilised ... come to think of it so do I ... I'm moving to France
