This Day in the History of Bleak Days
On this day in 1940, the Belgian Army, 800,000 strong just two weeks before, having been rolled back by determined German attacks, and abandoned by the British Expeditionary Force (who bugged out at Dunkirk), surrendered to German forces. The photo is of a Pkw 2 crossing one of the innumerable canals in that part of Europe.
