France 1940 - The First Battle of Normandy

€23.70
It is never easy to recount a defeat. Burdened by caricatural clichés perpetuated for too many years, this Battle of France tends to focus on a few facts regularly singled out. Historians have primarily focused on the French side. Here, we will look at the German side. Apart from our adversaries, who can say that the Franco-British troops fought with...

In 1940, the manoeuvre that would seal the fatal fate of the Allied armies can be summarised in two stages.

The markings applied to Marine Corps tanks in the Pacific are a source of great interest for armour enthusiasts, and especially for scale modellers, who find in them an almost endless diversity and originality.

In October 1944, with Japan's war already lost since the previous year, the tokubetsu-kōgeki-tai, or "special attack corps," were formed: the pilots who made them up were trained to dive their aircraft,...
