Hello and welcome to another World War II podcast I'm Angus Wallace

I have a great episode for you we'll be discussing case read the German attack on

France post-Dunkirk.

Often when we talk about the battle for France, the history seems to stop at Dunkirk.

In actual fact, the fighting carried on for a few more weeks. There was still 100,000 plus British troops in France,

post-uncooked and Churchill was keen to keep the French fighting. Joining me is Robert Fawcick. If you recall last year we discussed Operation

Sealion with Bob. Well he's been bevering away this last year and has a new

book out called Case Red the Collapse of France. It's a real eye-opener. If you enjoy

this episode I can tell you now there is more.

patrons of the show get access to extra bits of World War II chat,

things that might have ended up on the Cushing Room floor

because it was off topic.

I wonder if our starting point is actually the interwar years and in your

book you tease out some fascinating threads on the inter-war French policy on their military spending.

And it's not so much it's cutbacks, it's just it's spent elsewhere.
