Previous: England invades the Reich (CYOAH) The British decides that a swift thrust through the German forces in Belgium would be sufficient to break the line, liberate both Belgium and Holland, then advance on Germany from the west. General Lord Gort, commander of the British Armies, decides to focus the attack in Flanders, which lead to many of his under officers, most of whom had fought in World War One, to protest. However, Gort would not be dissuaded, and the date for the attack was set on October 8, 1940. Created by Tbguy1992 17:20, September 14, 2011 (UTC)
