    177: The Fall of France - Playing the Long Game

    177: The Fall of France - Playing the Long Game

    When they entered the war the British and French had a plan, they would fight a long war against Germany. This would allow them to take advantage of their worldwide empire and their control of the seas. Then after years of rearmament and preparations they would launch their attack. All they had to do was hold off the Germans for a few years while the German economy imploded, it was such an easy plan. It would fail.

    Summary 3: The September Campaign

    Summary 3: The September Campaign

    This is a new series of episodes that are designed to solve one problem, this podcast is going to take a long time. One side effect of the amount of content the podcast needs to cover is that there are times when there is information from previous episodes or series that originally released years in the past which is now important background information for episodes that are about to release. This is where the summaries come in. Moving forward I will drop in a few summaries at appropriate times which will take a old series of episodes, in the case of today's episode the September Campaign series. Obviously this will not have the detail level of the earlier episodes, but it will allow for the key facts and themes of the earlier episodes to be brought back into everybody's memories right before it is most important.

This is where the summaries come in. Moving forward I will drop in a few summaries at appropriate times which will take a old series of episodes, in the case of today's episode the Third Republic series, and condense the entire series down into one roughly 25 minute episode. Obviously this will not have the detail level of the earlier episodes, but it will allow for the key facts and themes of the earlier episodes to be brought back into everybody's memories right before it is most important.
