Patreon, Almuzara and Amazon, you can search for me as Victor Aguilar-Chang ------------------------------------------------------ Hello, it is May 10, 1940, at dawn on that day the German offensive against the West began, and in Belgium Fort Eben-Emael was the northernmost bastion of a large chain of 12 fortresses that covered the eastern approaches to the city of Liege. And that fort had been built to cover with fire three large steel bridges, bridges that had to be crossed by German divisions to enter the heart of Belgium. But if the Germans could be stopped there, the French and British armies could arrive to reinforce the Belgian and Dutch forces, and stop the German offensive in its tracks. Anyway, the fort fell in less than 31 hours, and below we will see how the German airborne infantrymen managed it. I hope you enjoy this video. Sincerely, Victor Aguilar-Chang
