Cotentin 1940 book review

I am always wandering through bookshops here in France and every now and then I find something of interest written in French that I have never seen covered in English.

This week I picked up this book for €3 and when I returned home read the first 3 chapters quite quickly, it certainly covers a lot of ground I have never read about really, the raising and training of units during the phoney war, the preparations of the ports in the peninsula especially Cherbourg, and the units assigned to its defence. I am looking forward to ploughing through more of it this week and perhaps write a few scenarios for my upcoming wargames book.

I will do a follow up here and change the text once completed.

Cheers
Matt

More German bits

I have not really posted lately as I have been building two ancient and one medieval army for impetus, the three armies are in the final stages so I have had an opportunity to sit down and do some ww2 kit, so this week I will post what I have done in the last six months. First up some more german bits.
