As German armored columns moved to seal off French ports from
retreating British troops in 1940, Winston Churchill had few
reserves he could commit. In an attempt to delay the Germans at
Boulogne, Churchill sent in two battalions of the Irish Guards and
Welsh Guards in a hastily-organized amphibious landing. In
Battleground Europe style, eyewitness accounts and original
photographs provide previously unknown details. A guide is also
provided to the monuments, battle sites and accommodations in this
historic city as they are today.
