In a little over a month, Germany decisively defeated the Allies, a task that had not been achieved in four years of brutal fighting during World War I. First published in 1995 as the official German history of the campaign, the book shows that German victory was not inevitable and Allied defeat was not preordained. It explodes many of the myths concerning German Blitzkrieg warfare and the planning for the 1940 campaign.","brand":"Military History Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67670486810923,"sku":"17476","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/militaryhistorybooks.com\/products\/the-blitzkrieg-legend-the-1940-campaign-in-the-west","provider":"Military History Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
