I respectfully disagree. I don't think Hitler or his generals ignored the Saar offensive at all, but in fact watched it very carefully. If...
Well, it shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. Fact is, few people actually heard Gen. de Gaulle's famous June 18th appeal to resist the...
R.I.P. Very soon now, we will be living in a world without those who survived the ordeal. I'm very proud, homored and moved to say that I've...
I've read a similar description in Julian Jackson's "The Fall of France" (an excellent book). I'm not sure why the British didn't allow troops to...
I would also agree with Sloniksp's statement. However, I would also add that if there was one time the world could have done something, and been...
Limited success/limited failure, sure I could accept that, but to what purpose if the end result is more or less the same? What would it prove? If...
There was an attempt to exploit an offensive throught the Saarland region (Saar Offensive). Even if a large scale offensive were to be undertaken,...

I've always thought the lines of the Dassault Mirage series were very graceful, and the new Rafale just screams sexy! However, one of my all time...
The Chattelerault FM.24/29 is an excellent weapon. It never recieved the credit it deserved. Back in 1997, I had the wonderful chance to go to...
I'm going to guess it's a French issue holster, because of the stud on the cover and the closing strap (partially hidden here) coming from the...
All of the above, + a Chinese in Nanking.
This is true, though I wonder if considerations for a post-war economical revival played a role in this as well. As you said, these areas were...
Given the area described, it would not have been possible. Without an industrial base supporting it, either from within or from elsewhere, there's...
The Potez 630 aircraft were often used in reconassaince duties during the Phoney War, and so I imagine there were a few that were shot at during...
Hello from a cold Midwest USA. I'm new here, though I participate in other WW 2 related forums, some good, some bad. I've been reading many...
