discussion The lull before the storm.

[Jim R]

On 10th May 1940 the German Army invaded France. Their Blitzkrieg offensive pushed the BEF and the French army back towards the coast of Northern France. On 23th May Generaloberst Gert von Rundstedt inexplicably issued a halt order to Army Group A, leaving the Luftwaffe to harry the retreating allied forces. The halt order was rescinded on 26th May.
Using the Sd.Kfz 7/1 half track which I built for Dave's GB in a dio showing the crew resting up after von Rundstedt's halt order.































Thanks for your support.

Very nice Jim. The building is just excellent, the vehicle top notch, and plenty of other details to catch the viewers eye.

Stonking job all round , Jim!
Interestingly, I notice you've decided to model the famous Dreibruder brothers - identical triplets who served in the same unit....
