Summary
May 1940: Sergeant Jack Tanner has been posted to a training company on the southeast coast of England where the mysterious deaths of two Polish refugees lead him to believe there has been foul play. As the Germans launch their blitzkrieg in Europe, the entire company are sent to join the battle to stop Hitler's drive across the Low Countries. Pitted against the die-hard Nazis of the SS "Death's Head" division and the great panzer commander, General Rommel himself, it is left to Tanner to get his men back to Allied lines. But if they are to have any hope of surviving the mayhem of Dunkirk, Tanner must first deal with an enemy far more deadly than the Germans....

Great historical fiction
Some really strong characters and nice links to historical events. A rip roaring listen, would recommend to anyone with an interest in World War Two history, or is a fan of Sharpe (just to be clear I’m not saying this is better than Sharpe, but it pretty close!)

Bang for Buck
This is great stuff, extremely well researched and believable with exquisite detail but it never glorifies war it far too realistic.

Excellent story based on actual events/locations.
In the main...excellent! A couple of (very minor) niggles, "20 pounder" for 2 pound AT gun and use of "Op" rather than O.P. The narrative as well researched as you could hope for.

Jack goes to beach
I really liked this book a good World war 2 story.
Jack has to fight his way across France to Dunkirk to escape the German blitzkrieg and along the way he has to deal with
A incompetent commanding officer and a Sergeant Major who is crooked deceitful and out to get him.
Well worth your time
