The May issue of Military Times, the British Military History magazine, is on sale today.
In the latest issue we cover:
Operation Sealion – Was it a bluff?
Military historian Mark Corby argues forcefully that Operation Sealion, Hitler’s planned invasion of
Britain, was always a bluff. Even if the Germans had won the Battle of Britain, he says, any attempted invasion would have been defeated by either Channel weather or the Royal Navy.
Dan Snow writes about his Grandfather
The publication of Dan Snow’s grandfather’s war memoir reveals an intelligent and candid critic of British military incompetence during the First World War.
Was Imperial Germany really responsible for WWI?
Germany’s blame was claimed during the war and by many historians today – we look at whether European rulers were equally culpable.
