Besides being a blow-by-blow operational analysis of the Netherlands' "Five Day War" in May of 1940, this work acts as a corrective to certain patriotic narratives of the post-war period. In particular, the authors take to task such notions that if the Netherlands had rearmed sooner, or if the Germans had stayed within the laws of war or if there had been a better alliance system the occupation would have been staved off. The hard lesson that the authors wish to impart is that sometimes there is no real solution to your strategic & operational quandaries as a nation, though one does come away with the sense that the particular weakness of the Dutch ground forces were a real lack of competence at the operational level of war for the regular officers and that much more tactical training would have been in order for the rank-and-file; the Dutch were not alone in these failings though.

In May 1940, the Netherlands were overrun by German armed forces. The five-day campaign might seem to be a prime example of Blitzkrieg , which led shortly afterwards to the rapid and unexpected overthrow of France. This book, based on the newest scholarly research, argues that this is too simple a view. Even though the German assault on the Netherlands made use of tanks, aircraft and airborne troops, it was still a classic campaign against a weak opponent in a theater on the margins of Fall Gelb . In many instances, artillery and infantry were the decisive factors and it is debatable whether the bombing of Rotterdam can be seen as a precursor to the aerial terror campaigns against civilian populations that marked the later stages the Second World War. Contributors are H. Amersfoort, H.W. van den Doel, P.H. Kamphuis, P.M.J. de Koster, C.M. Schulten and J.W.M. Schulten. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
