Special Thanks to the following Patrons for their support on Patreon: Franco La Bruna James Baker Chris Fatta Richard Wolfe Joshua Mitchell Wildoer Kevin Sanders Cornel Norman A. Letterman Mason Cox Blaine Tillack William Foster Thomas Mitchell Josh Selby Shaun Pullin Perry Gagne Matthew anon Byzans_Scotorius Spencer Smith Rbj Andrew Keeling João Santos Richard Manklow Mark Bevan Recommended reading: France: The Dark Years 1940-1944 by Julian Jackson. An absolutely phenomenal work which despite the name covers everything from the late 1920s to just after the war. Talks in depth about the political climate which weakened France and her response to Germany and the war. It's an academic text so not the most accessible, though. To Hell and Back: Europe 1914-1949 by Ian Ker
