Before The Storm: The Phoney War Begins (Part 1)

Holland and Murray launch a new series on the Phoney War, tackling the myth of German technological superiority, the state of British preparedness in September 1939, and the little-discussed fact that German generals were already plotting against Hitler before the war had properly started. Holland is characteristically good at dismantling lazy assumptions about Wehrmacht invincibility, and this opener sets up the Fall of France with the strategic context that's usually skipped. A strong start to what should be an excellent series.
