Not sure if it´s legal but here´s the link: https://ia802608.us.archive.org/27/items/45030029FriedrichGeorgVerratInDerNormandie/45030029-Friedrich-Georg-Verrat-in-Der-Normandie.pdf Edited March 21, 2019 by RockinHarry 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StieliAlpha Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) Hi Falaise Be a little careful refering to this book. I read only the first few pages and found it propagates a sort of disgusting „Dolchstoss-Legende“ (just like in WW1). Along the lines “Without German help, the Yanks would not have won in the Normandy.“ But then, the French never lost at Waterloo, did they? No, seriously, the Rommel citation may be true, but this „pamphlet“ is nothing to refer too. Edited March 22, 2019 by StieliAlpha 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
