Spurred on by the invasion of Poland, both the French and the British had just declared war on Nazi Germany and, in response, Wermacht armies began forming a plan to invade further parts of Europe, including France, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. The battle was a huge success for Germany, with Hitler initially expecting to lose the lives of millions during a lengthy campaign; instead, the 43-day battle cost him just 27,000 troops, compared to the Allied Forces, who lost around 73,000 soldiers, while over a million more were captured by the enemy. 0:00 Introduction 1:30 The Prelude 9:50 The Reichstag Speech & Case Yellow 20:44 The Battle 37:22 The Aftermath Prefer to listen on the go?
