Sometime ago I read a report on the British soldier fighting the German soldier in France post Dunkirk. For the life of me I can't find it now or remember where I read it-I'm fairly sure it's in a book A couple of possible Clues that could be my imagination: I think it was a Brigadier or higher ie a Bde or Div Commander - Possibly Alan Brooke? It mentions something like, in an equal fight the British soldier was more than a match for the German and found himself retreating time and time again not because he was loosing the fight but because his flanks were being compromised.
