Re: Col. Stacey's Official History of the Cdn Army in WW2
Hello Martin,
This is live field recce: Operation Wellhit represents only a small portion
in Stacey's " Victory Campaign" (vol. 2). This kind of reading is a must in
our bizz (The La Creche Project) and if Major Ellis ("Victory in the West")
quoted Stacey so much, it's because Stacey is just bright !
I understand your question well. We checked a huge amount of sources on the
Boulogne area (France): no way, Martin, Stacey's work is a marvellous
compendium; moreover, just check the sources he mentionned. Speaking about
Wellhit, I have now the SIR copies concerning Lt-Gen. Heim. Thanks to
Stacey's honnesty. Stacey gave his sources to everybody (I won't comment on
other authors).
Hoping this will contribute to your search.
Robert
