Book excerpt: Discover the remarkable history of the Battle of France... That France and Germany were enemies in 1940 was not news to anyone. That Germany was bitter at the terms of its surrender at the end of World War I was hardly a surprise. That another war would follow all too soon was apparent to many. Yet no one could have expected that Germany's rise to military power under the leadership of Adolf Hitler would have given birth to such an evil regime. The churning resentment that Hitler and many other Germans felt against its enemies, particularly France, was destined to sow the seeds for vengeance that would see the Nazis storm across the Low Countries in an accelerated quest to destroy the French Army and then to occupy France. To achieve such a victory in only 46 days was an alarming feat; would Hitler's Third Reich achieve its stated goal of lasting one thousand years as Germany took its place as the master of Europe? The Battle of France was much more than merely a military objective; it was the culmination of a quest for revenge on the part of the Nazis that would imperil the future of democracy all over the world. Discover a plethora of topics such as The Maginot Line Dunkirk and the Surrender of the Low Countries The Invasion of France Surrender at Compiegne Vichy France: The British Attack the French Navy Aftermath: French Resistance And much more!

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters on the War: Between Germany and France Do you know what it is that people here are afraid Of Some of our Politicians, to whom I do not belong, profess to believe in the existence of a plot of long standing between the Cabinets of Paris and Florence. They think that just as France has been forced into a war against us, SO it will be with Italy, unless Italian citizens prove themselves to be stronger and wiser than the French have done. And do you know what the friends of Italy reply to his Sf Translated from the Italian by I. C. They say, AS for the Italian Cabinet, anything is possible; but as for the Italian people, they will sup port the Germans, and offer an invincible obstacle to any such policy. Still, to say the truth, we are not entirely safe. It is only too easy to deceive a people; and I do not feel convinced that your countrymen recognize the serious ness of this impending danger, or that they are on the alert in looking out for it.

Book Synopsis The Fall of France by : Julian Jackson
Download or read book The Fall of France written by Julian Jackson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2004-04-22 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 16 May 1940 an emergency meeting of the French High Command was called at the Quai d'Orsay in Paris. The German army had broken through the French lines on the River Meuse at Sedan and elsewhere, only five days after launching their attack. Churchill, who had been telephoned by Prime Minister Reynaud the previous evening to be told that the French were beaten, rushed to Paris to meet the French leaders. The mood in the meeting was one of panic and despair; there was talk ofevacuating Paris. Churchill asked Gamelin, the French Commander in Chief, 'Where is the strategic reserve?' 'There is none,' replied Gamelin.This exciting book by Julian Jackson, a leading historian of twentieth-century France, charts the breathtakingly rapid events that led to the defeat and surrender of one of the greatest bastions of the Western Allies, and thus to a dramatic new phase of the Second World War. The search for scapegoats for the most humiliating military disaster in French history began almost at once: were miscalculations by military leaders to blame, or was this an indictment of an entire nation?Using eyewitness accounts, memoirs, and diaries, Julian Jackson recreates, in gripping detail, the intense atmosphere and dramatic events of these six weeks in 1940, unravelling the historical evidence to produce a fresh answer to the perennial question of whether the fall of France was inevitable.

Book excerpt: *Includes pictures *Includes accounts of the fighting *Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading *Includes a table of contents "My Luftwaffe is invincible...And so now we turn to England. How long will this one last - two, three weeks?" - Hermann Goering, June 1940 One of the most famous people in the world came to tour the city of Paris for the first time on June 28, 1940. Over the next three hours, he rode through the city's streets, stopping to tour L'Opera Paris. He rode down the Champs-Elysees toward the Trocadero and the Eiffel Tower, where he had his picture taken. After passing through the Arc de Triomphe, he toured the Pantheon and old medieval churches, though he did not manage to see the Louvre or the Palace of Justice. Heading back to the airport, he told his staff, "It was the dream of my life to be permitted to see Paris. I cannot say how happy I am to have that dream fulfilled today." Four years after his tour, Adolf Hitler would order the city's garrison commander, General Dietrich von Choltitz, to destroy Paris, warning his subordinate that the city "must not fall into the enemy's hand except lying in complete debris." Of course, Paris was not destroyed before the Allies liberated it, but it would take more than 4 years for them to wrest control of France from Nazi Germany after they took the country by storm in about a month in 1940. That said, it's widely overlooked today given how history played out that as the power of Nazi Germany grew alarmingly during the 1930s, the French sought means to defend their territory against the rising menace of the Thousand-Year Reich. As architects of the most punitive measures in the Treaty of Versailles following World War I, France was a natural target for Teutonic retribution, so the Maginot Line, a series of interconnected strongpoints and fortifications running along much of France's eastern border, helped allay French fears of invasion. The true flaw in French military strategy during the opening days of World War II lay not in reliance on the Maginot fortifications but in the army's neglect to exploit the military opportunities the Line created. In other words, the border defense performed as envisioned, but the other military arms supported it insufficiently to halt the Germans. The French Army squandered the opportunity not because the Maginot Line existed but because they failed to utilize their own defensive plan properly; the biggest problem was that the Germans simply skirted past the intricate defensive fortifications by invading neutral Belgium and swinging south, thereby avoiding the Maginot Line for the most part. The French had not expected the Germans would be able to move armored units through the Ardennes Forests, a heavily wooded region spanning parts of Belgium, France and the Netherlands. To the Allies' great surprise, the Germans had no trouble rolling across these lands in the span of weeks. And by invading France from the north, the Germans simply avoided the Maginot Line. The French surrendered in June 1940, and the British narrowly escaped disaster by transporting thousands of soldiers and equipment across the English Channel at Dunkirk. Thus, by the middle of 1940, the Axis powers and the Soviet Union had overrun nearly all of Western Europe. With France out of the war, and without active participation by the United States, Great Britain virtually stood alone. The Fall of France: The History of Nazi Germany's Invasion and Conquest of France During World War II chronicles the background and construction of the much maligned defensive fortifications. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about the fall of France like never before, in no time at all.

Download or read book The War Correspondence of the Daily News written by UNKNOWN. AUTHOR and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-17 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War Correspondence of the Daily News: Continued From the Recapture of Orleans by the German to the Peace, Edited With Notes and Comments Forming a Continuous History of the War Between Germany and France The Letters composing this volume were written and published in continuation of those collected in the volume entitled "War Correspondence of the Daily News," issued last December. After the fall of Strasburg and Metz, the interest of the war was more than ever concentrated upon and around Paris, and the operations of the French armies, with their successes and misfortunes, were estimated with reference to the hope of relieving the capital. In the present volume the story of the war is resumed at the recapture of Orleans by the Germans, after battles that effaced advantages which had seemed for a time the presage of ultimate victory for the French, and it is continued to the conclusion of a peace crowned by the occupation of Paris. The brilliant triumph of the Germans, and its influence upon civilization, have yet to be tested by time, which, it may be hoped, will heal the wounds inflicted on France. Our task has been, not to anticipate the verdict of history, but to group a series of life-like pictures of some of the greatest events of this age.

Book excerpt: The remarkable untold story of France’s courageous, clever vinters who protected and rescued the country’s most treasured commodity from German plunder during World War II. "To be a Frenchman means to fight for your country and its wine." –Claude Terrail, owner, Restaurant La Tour d’Argent In 1940, France fell to the Nazis and almost immediately the German army began a campaign of pillaging one of the assets the French hold most dear: their wine. Like others in the French Resistance, winemakers mobilized to oppose their occupiers, but the tale of their extraordinary efforts has remained largely unknown–until now. This is the thrilling and harrowing story of the French wine producers who undertook ingenious, daring measures to save their cherished crops and bottles as the Germans closed in on them. Wine and War illuminates a compelling, little-known chapter of history, and stands as a tribute to extraordinary individuals who waged a battle that, in a very real way, saved the spirit of France.

Download or read book The Daily News Correspondence of the War Between Germany and France written by UNKNOWN. AUTHOR and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Daily News Correspondence of the War Between Germany and France: 1870-1 This volume owes its origin to a desire very generally expressed that the letters of which it is composed, treating of events among the most momentous of any in the memory of this generation, should have a record at once more permanent and more convenient than the files of a daily journal. The special value of letters from camps and battle-fields consists in the vividness with which they reproduce the life and spirit of the scenes and transactions in the midst of which they are written. In the letters which have appeared in the Daily News since the beginning of the Franco-Prussian war, the public has recognized this quality as present in an eminent degree. Their authors, in assenting to the issue of this selection from their correspondence, do not renounce their right severally to publish the entire product of their labours in other forms. The duties of a Newspaper Correspondent with an army are performed day by day in the lace of difficulties and dangers only inferior to those of the enrolled combatant. They are, however, discharged with a cheerful patience, which is sustained by the knowledge that the British public - the most exacting in Europe in its demand for intelligence - honours those whose zeal and enterprise secure to it information earlier, fuller, and often more worthy of credit, than that which the courts and cabinets of Europe can command. In the present volume tho story of the war is related from its Declaration, in tho summer of 1870, to the conclusion of a peace crowned by the occupation of Paris. The brilliant triumph of the Germans, and its influence upon civilization, have yet to be tested by time, which, it may be hoped, notwithstanding much that is discouraging, will heal the wounds inflicted on France.
