In The Low Countries
The cunning technique used by the Germans in their invasion of the Low Countries gives many lessons. The plans adopted by the invaders were, as in the case of Norway and Denmark, Yong- thought-out and perfectly timed.
The Dutch knew that the attack was imminent from the day of May 7 and they had taken, what they considered thorough steps against it. Motor-lorries had been parked along the main roads to prevent aircraft rom landing. Aerodromes were made unusable by placing boulders and 'motor-cars as obstructions. Afrcraft were dispersed and camouflaged and anti-aircraft machine-guni were manned in the fields. Sentries were posted in large numbers in the towns.
