History Date Night: A WWII Podcast por Justin and Jennie
Notas del episodio
On this episode of History Date Night, Justin and Jennie cover May 11th through 15th. The Netherlands surrenders. Churchill gives a speech everyone still quotes eighty years later. And at a small French border town called Sedan, the war is essentially decided in about three days, though almost nobody watching it fully understands that yet. Also we see an exiled Kaiser turning down an offer of British asylum hours before his own home is overrun, the French Ninth Army coming apart in scenes of panic, the tragedy of a bombing raid that arrives after the order to cancel it, and a French Prime Minister telling Churchill over the telephone, three words: we are defeated.
