{"product_id":"9781908916334","title":"Military Operations of the Dutch Army 10th-17th May 1940","description":"Most studies of the 1940 Western Campaign have tended to focus on a narrow range of topics, principally those relating the German forces or the epic of Dunkirk. The publication of this title is aimed at redressing the balance by providing a detailed account of the operations of the Dutch army during this campaign.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe author begins by presenting a detailed account of the Dutch army prior to the campaign, including its plan of campaign. He also includes a fascinating chapter discussing the geography of the Netherlands from a military point of view. The remainder of the text consists of a daily account of the Dutch army's operations down to regimental or independent battalion-level. In doing so, the author clearly demonstrates the combat capability of the Dutch troops and the brave and tenacious defense with which they met the German invasion. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAppendices provide a detailed order-of-battle, and sample orders. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a significant contribution to the literature available on the 1940 campaign in France and the Low Countries.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Helion and Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47132073230576,"sku":"9781908916334","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781908916334_p0.jpg?v=1763622269","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781908916334","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
