First let me say happy ANZAC day to everyone. 26 years ago forces from Australia and New Zealand made their landings at Gallipoli.

On another note, how far away do you think one could spot one of those Lee tanks? And I’m pretty sure that you can get that German vehicle in a Happy Meal.

The rapid defeat in the Balkans has led to criticism and unrest in the House of Commons. Since Chamberlain’s death and Halifax’s posting to Washington in 1940, Churchill had been in a strong political position. Now his chief critic is the elderly Lloyd George, who has been advocating negotiations with Hitler since 1940.
