Title: Blitzkrieg - This Sundays' Close Escort at 3pm Eastern
Post by: Easyscor on June 08, 2007, 10:59:07 AM

Alright, last Sunday, as everyone knows by now, the arenas were closed so we'll run Frame One of Blitzkrieg this Sunday, June 10th at 3pm Eastern time.

Blitzkrieg


By May of 1940, several weeks of preparation comes to a head as the German war machine storms across the Belgian border. Squadrons that have spent the available time training and planning will meet in the skies over the fast moving front, creating legends and martyrs as they battle each other in support of the soldiers on the ground.

Frame one will follow the action as German dive bombers pave the way for the crossing of the Muese. (http://ahevents.org/european-theatre/close-escort-a-tour-of-wwii-tour-1-blitzkrieg.html) Click the link for more information.

Shouldn't something called Blitzkrieg include tanks?

:) Yes it probably should but it would require a re-write and no one has the time at the moment.
