Description
What is known about the use of tanks during the Battle of France in 1940? History (with a capital H) remembers the German panzer divisions crossing the Ardennes and storming into Dunkirk, taking everything in their path with them.... The French had tanks that were too slow, too heavy and too few to take on the Germans. This image has stuck in people's minds, but it still needs some nuance.
German strategists had successfully learned lessons from the very short Polish campaign. But to reduce the use of French tanks to their shortcomings would do justice neither to the French panzer nor to the men who fought for their country. With a serious style, richly supported by sources, Camille Vargas in this book explores the role of tanks on both sides during May-June 1940.
