Description/Synopsis:
In nur drei Tagen ist Hitlers Wehrmacht im Mai 1940 durch Luxemburg und Belgien gestürmt und rückt Richtung Kanalküste vor. Die Franzosen hatten sich sicher gewähnt hinter der Maginot-Linie nit ihren Festungswerken. Doch das sollte sich rasch als ''Irrtum in Beton'' erweisen. Hitlers Überfall auf Frankreich ist ein wichtiges und entscheidendes Kapitel des Zweiten Weltkriegs. In der abendfüllenden Dokumentation ''Die Blitzkrieg-Legende'' erinnern sich fast zwanzig französische und deutsche Zeitzeugen an jene dramatische Wochen im Mai und Juni 1940... als die Tragödie Frankreichs ihren Lauf nahm und mit einem Triumph Adolf Hitlers endete. Die Spiegel-TV Autoren Hans von Brescius und Michael Kloft haben aus deutschen, französischen und amerikanischen Archiven eine beispiellose Sammlung von Filmaufnahmen zusammengetragen und die wichtigsten Schauplätze des Dramas besucht, um das erschütternde Geschehen zu dokumentieren.
