Documents on the invasion of France and the low countries?
Documents on the invasion of France and the low countries?
hey all,
i'm on the lookout for documents preferably free from German and English sources describing the west campaign of May and June 1940. I ask because the US Army has printed several fantastic historical series and documents written at the time analysing German and Allied strategy. the problem is there is such a glut of information that I do not know where to begin to look.
thanks for any help
Michael

Hi, Mike - what I miss are Dutch, Belgian and French sources as few are translated into English.harry6116 wrote:hey all,

It would be good to hear from the Belgians and the Dutch. Communiqués, radio broadcasts that kind of stuff. The only radio I have heard from the Dutch was the communicate from the Royal family on May 10
