THEY FOUGHT May-June 1940 - Unpublished Photos and Testimonies of the Battle of France

L20200278
€23.70
The defeat of 1940 remains the greatest political and moral drama to have shaken France in the 20th century.

€18.96

A duration explained by the formidable means that the belligerents deployed on land, at sea and in the skies — making it futile to hope to defeat the enemy in a single campaign — but also, and in large part, by the mistakes committed. Had Hitler not persisted in winning the...
