The March Against England: Operation Sea Lion 1940 -’41
Book Review and Commentary by B. Chapski
This book, has 368 pages. The author is an excellent writer with superb skills. He does not promise the world and give up peanuts. He emphasizes that he had no intention of using “if” as as a qualifier when laying out his cards pertaining to the massive buildup of barges for Sea Lion (Seelowe, Hitler’s dream of invading GB). He is able to keep you glued to his labour. His fertile narrative pertains to the time when the Third Reich was at the height of her power. On the other hand, much of Britain’s weaponry was of WWI vintage. As for the debacle at Dunkirk, the British were lucky that Reichsmarschall Herman Goring assured Hitler that his Luftwaffe bombs could prevent that evacuation; assuring he could annihilate the BEF and save thousands of German lives. It's interesting reading annuals that are becoming like ancient history. I hope you enjoy this fun 3 page brief.
