So I really don't know when France drove on the left, care to explain ? It was to do with most people being right handed, so for fighting with your right hand needed traveling on the left hand side. So you think that the French trops used sherpas to get stuff to the Russian front?

True. I also understand that in those days, sudden troop movements were not always easy to spot. But to my way of thinking the condition, and location of the roads is basic information that one should know, prior to moving tanks. I also cannot understand why no attempt was made to secure the bridges on the the planned route. -- PeterN |

There is clear evidence that he was told all about it at least two weeks before the landing. I can look up the references (real books - made of paper) if you like. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |
