    At Rathau on the Aller, the CO of 5th Royal Tanks advanced on foot to take a cautious look into the town before his tanks moved in. He encountered one of his own officers, a huge Welshman named John Gwilliam who later captained his country's rugby team, 'carrying a small German soldier by the scruff of his neck, not unlike a cat with a mouse.' The Colonel said: 'Why not shoot him?' Gwilliam replied in his mighty Welsh voice: 'Oh no, sir. Much too small.'

      Heinz Guderian's Panzer Leader

      Hi,

      This book has a section that covers the invasion of France in detail, with operational orders and some unit info.

      Interestingly enough, Guderian mentions Hitler having Parkinson's, and he died in the 50's!
