The presentation on the attack on the Eben Emael was interesting to look at how people thought the war would go. The Belgium thought they could hold up the Germans with forts and that the war would go like World War One. The Germans used new technology and tatics to ovetake the fort. This battle shows how Germany was using new battle tatics, like blitzkrieg, and running over the countries using older tatics. This battle is a good example of how the beginning of the war went as a whole.

I think that this shows that militaries constantly have to trying new tactics to improve their stratagies and tavtics. Belguim was not the only country to do this, the United States did it when it invaded Iraq with a Vietnam fighting style and mindset.
