Whatever else we might think is wrong with the French, they do keep up war memorials very well.

What was most compelling:the engagement was captured on Signal Corps film from several angles. Those film clips captured the pain, fear and confusion of small unit actions. It was easy to visualize what that fight must have looked like and where the respective tanks were located, but I’m sure I looked pretty goofy standing on street corners looking for firing angles as the tourists wandered about.

Thanks for sharing your personal experience. I found the YouTube video so interesting, that I ordered the book. I'm looking forward to reading it.
