In the spring of 1940, the quiet fields of France awoke to thunder. Across the Ardennes rolled the steel tide of the Wehrmacht - swift, relentless, unstoppable. In a campaign of daring speed, columns of tanks and waves of aircraft were the spearhead of of the Blitzkrieg, of Lightning War, a new style of warfare that would change the world forever.

Amid chaos and ruin, France stood defiant. In the dust of collapsing fronts, the French army fought for survival. Outgunned and outflanked, their Char B1s, Somua S35s, and Hochkiss tanks spearheaded the defense, holding their ground against overwhelming odds, hoping that each desperate stand would halt the German tide.

During this darkest hour, British Expeditionary Force fought with grim determination. Trapped in pockets, surrounded by enemy armor and relentless fire, they refused to yield. Facing relentless waves of mechanized assault, they fought with discipline, courage, and unwavering resolve. Each counter-attack and heroic last stand was a victory for those soldiers waiting on the beaches of Dunkirk.
