The Battle of France 1940 Pt.1

The Battle of France 1940 Pt.1

 

The most surprising thing when analysing this short battle which finished off the French army in six weeks, is that in spite of a persistent belief showing the army in a bad light (bad material, inexperience and lack of motivation in the men themselves), the French army wasn’t all that bad. The violent combats plus the losses incurred are the proof of that. Poor use of armoured vehicles and HQ which held on to methods and tactics of a bygone era were the downfall of the French army. Throughout this magazine, you will find some of the most modern vehicles of that time, including the B1bis. Unusually, we will show you how to scratch build this model and at the same time introducing you to some original techniques.
