The 5-day war. The invasion of Holland began in May 1940 with a large-scale deployment of airborne troops, after the "Brandenburgers" had already taken strategically important bridges in a coup d'état. At the same time, the German 18th Army attacked with ground troops. After tough and costly fighting, the Dutch army surrendered after five days on 14 May 1940. The Dutch-German author duo describes the five-day battle for Holland from both the Dutch and German perspective. Some pages with bw-photos, bw-maps. 221 pages.
