WEEK FOUR---Blitzkrieg, "Sitzkrieg," & Sleeping Giants 

Overview

The purpose of this week's lecture and reading assignments is to explore more fully the period between September 1, 1939 and the early summer of 1941.  Much happened of great consequence during this period that very much shaped the conduct of the war, particularly in the European theater.  Moreover, several developments were purposefully distorted both by media at the time and later historians to a degree that requires a rexamination of the historical record.
