In six lovely weeks in the spring and summer of 1940 a single battle brought down in total military defeat on of the world's great powers - it's second largest empire, an old and highly civilized democracy which Thomas Jefferson said was "every man's second country." The world watched Hitler's defeat of the French army - then believed to be one of the finest in the world - with dismay and bewilderment. How had this come about? What did it mean for all the rest of us?
