Zusammenfassung:"Early in May 1940, after months of phoney war, the armies of the Third Reich burst out of the Ardennes into northern France. Brilliantly conceived and executed, Operation Sickelschnitt was one of the most astonishing military plans of all time. Cutting through weak French defenses, Rommel's panzers raced for the coast, driving back the British Expeditionary Force to the very sands of the Channel. Catastrophe was averted only by the large-scale evacuation of British troops - 'the miracle of Dunkirk'." "Ronald Atkin's book is a soldier's-eye view of this extraordinary story, making sense of the chaos and anarchy of an army in defeat in the words of those who lived through those tumultuous weeks."--BOOK JACKET.
