Synopses & Reviews
March through the battlefields of France, Poland, and Russia for an intimate view of the World War II German blitzkrieg. Quick, decisive, and surprisingly successful, the blitzkrieg technique very nearly brought Europe to its knees, and has been heavily studied and imitated in modern warfare. Follow the moves of three early campaigns: Fall Weiss on Poland in 1939, Fall Gelb for France in 1940, and Operation Barbarossa, the fateful invasion of Russia in 1941. Veterans, historians, and modellers will thrill in the action, excitement, and strategy captured in this riveting narrative and punctuated by an outstanding selection of historical photos.
