I am not sure Napoleon was ever really himself after the Russian campaign. What he expected after his victory at Borodino and what really turned out was very different. Expecting the Russians to surrender only having them chase him all the way back to France may have put some doubt in his mind. Maybe that doubt is what affected his decisions at a place like Waterloo. I know in sports that if you loose your confidence it can be hard to get back. I imagine the same could be said about war generals. Just a thought. Enjoyed the post.
Bovington's Tiger to feature in new film.
-
I read in the Tank Museum newsletter that the museum’s Tiger and a Sherman are appearing in Brad Pitt’s new WW2 film, Fury. (I did not know it was coming out!).
I shall have to catch this one then, as I have been up close to Tiger 131 at Bovington, in Dorset, where it is stored. -
Hooraaaaah!
“Tall Paul” :-D
-
Yes Tall Paul; I agree. Except when that Yankee Brad Putt blows it up!
I will be sad.
