Chapitre 149: Chapter 149: 149

July 10, 1940, dawned with an eerie calm over the English Channel. The tranquil waters, reflecting the hues of the early morning sun, betrayed no hint of the storm that loomed on the horizon. On the German side of the Channel, the grand machinery of war was set in motion.

The ports and harbors of Northern France bustled with activity as the German military prepared for Operation Sea Lion. The beaches, once the stage for the evacuation of Allied forces at Dunkirk, now transformed into launching points for a full-scale invasion of Britain.

The air crackled with anticipation as German soldiers, clad in their iconic gray uniforms, boarded a formidable fleet of transport ships. Troop carriers, accompanied by sleek and menacing warships, dotted the horizon, forming an armada that stretched as far as the eye could see. The Luftwaffe, their aircraft painted with the ominous swastika, revved their engines on airfields along the coast.
