Description
The world burst into war in a blast of bombs and tanks when the Nazis marched into Poland. Blitzkrieg moves from the aftermath of World War I into the dramatic events of 1938–41: the Munich Crisis in 1938, the defeat of France, the retreat at Dunkirk, the sinking of the Bismarck. Rare items of memorabilia—including Hitler’s order to invade Poland and Montgomery’s diary charting the evacuation from Dunkirk—bring the era and events to life as never before. The CD features Chamberlain’s announcement of war; Churchill’s “finest hour” speech; and Hitler’s first speech from the newly German Danzig.
