5.0 out of 5 stars
Tonic,
By The F7 Pawn "RLTW" (Northern Virginia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Breaking Point: Sedan and the Fall of France, 1940 (Hardcover)
Much needed corrective to the overhyped and overblown theories about Blitzkrieg. As brilliant as the German operational plan was, Colonel Doughty does a remarkable job in showing that only hard fighting by well-trained infantry and engineers at the sharp end allowed the plan to bear fruit. A great cautionary script for anyone tempted to put all their eggs in either the maneuver or firepower baskets exclusively.

The nut in the nutshell; crux of the matter,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Breaking Point: Sedan and the Fall of France, 1940 (Hardcover)
Colonel Doughty has gone where no one has before; the company-size struggle for the Marfee Heights. While E. Store's 1PZ gives a good timeline and points of reference, Doughty describes each block- house. The French officers are named, either in their infamy or heroic efforts. On a broader scale, Doughty compares doctrines. "Combat-activness" is examined as a motivator in small-level combat; the place that wars are really won.
