Battle of Marne, 1940

May take a wild to load.. Shutdown = update Weeks after the British began the evacuation at Dunkirk, and while the capture of Paris was ongoing, the Allied Forces initiated small defensive measures to protect the Marne River, a river that flows through Paris. The Battle of Marne began on May 31, 1940. Each hour at Marne saw both defeat and victory in gaining land. Marne fell on June 4, the day the Dunkirk evacuation ended and three weeks before the Axis powers fully captured Paris, marking it as part of a military disaster. The British and French are pushed back, hoping for a miracle, a victory, anything. Each hour ticks by and land is lost and gained. The soldiers, weary and battered, cling to the hope of reinforcements. The skies darken with the smoke of battle, and the ground trembles with the roar of enemy aircraft. The Battle of Marne, 1940, becomes a desperate struggle for survival, a testament to the resilience and determination of those who fought.
