Best way to understand? 1. Look at the pictures 2. Get an impression of the meaning of the text because you can still get a basic understanding from various words (I do have some French but very very limited ) 3. Pester Stephane and Frederick about releasing English editions at every opportunity: the last time I tried was earlier today while having a Facebook Messenger exchange with Frederick

A bottle of cider with a couple of shots of Calvados might improve your understanding of French considerably (or at least give you the illusion thereof ). Michel
I just looked at google translate on my phone and had not realised it had a photo/scan function that seems pretty good, that may be the way to go. I fear if I drink Calvados and Cider i wouldn't be able to read or speak English never mind French! cheers all
As long as you combine the English with the French you'll be ok (in moderation, on high days and holidays of course). In my experience they go well together, and you'll find your powers of understanding and translation skills improve no end. Sante! Kind regards, always, Jim.
I always take a pint or two before starting on English books ... helps a lot! Especially with Belgian Beer. Cheerio!
This on Fb... https://www.facebook.com/Operation-Martlet-408490823101186/ Surprised me a little - I think the "about" bit says that it is about Panzer Lehr - for example - so perhaps "Panzer Lehr during Operation Martlet" - although even then it seems to be outside of Martlet dates and doesn't seem to have a great deal about Operation Martlet...
