One would think that this new work would be in the same vein as its predecessors. Unfortunately, this book
Too many historical errors betraying probably when precipitation to the editor. I would even say of amateurism
if it was not a question of François Roth. For example (I do not quote all, fortunately):
- The maps include Alsace-Moselle in France (a shame in a Lorraine historian!)
- Confusion between Erwin Rommel (the Desert Fox) and his son Manfred (future mayor of Stuttgart)
- Confusion between the Scharnhorst and the Gneisenau (ships of the Second World War) and the Goeben and the Breslau
- Farman aircraft were renamed the Farmer ...
This is unfortunate because François Roth has also demonstrated its professionalism.
