re: #159 enoughalready
There’s a really good book written by a french military historian about the struggle between the politicians who saw the threat and the military establishment who argued that their fixed installations would repel any aggression. It’s a fascinating read, I’ll try to look up the title for you if you are interested?
I would love to. I’ve been watching a lot of WWII programs on the Military Channel. I am totally fascinated by the strength & courage our troops had fighting the Germans & Japanese. I’ve met a few who fought in the battles and their stories are inspiring to hear.
