The Breaking Point - Sedan and the Fall of France, 1940: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Breaking Point - Sedan and the Fall of France, 1940" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Colonel Doughty (US Army and West Point) examines the German victory at Sedan, which has generally been viewed as testament to an innovative and invincible German war machine. Through detailed analysis of both French and German battle records, he reconstructs the battle and reveals, not a new and superior weaponry or war machine, but efficient technical and procedural use of the German infantry.Review comment: Doughty knows considerably more about the workings of the French Army in 1940 than does the average historian and this knowledge is reflected in this work. Take your normal account of the fall of France, and then examine each significant event from the perspective of both the German and the French commands and then you will have some idea of what this work offers. I suggest that no serious student of WWII can do without this book.
