Join Mike and I this week as we discuss Germany’s 1940 invasion of Belgium and the Western Front. We follow the British Expeditionary Force and their Allies’ numerous counteroffensives against the Wehrmacht in the Battle of Boulogne and the Siege of Calais. Tune in and learn about the failed Allied counteroffensives before the evacuation at Dunkirk.
