Presentations on France 1940 and Antietam 1862

We have two presentations coming up this month on the Armor Battles in France in May 1940 on 14 May and on the Battle of Antietam on 28 May. We often host “community meetings” on a range of defense issues but limited the invite to those on the mailing list for the Historical Analysis Annual Conference (HAAC). This is the first time we have offered presentations to the general public.

1. The presentation on zoom for Armor Battles in France and Belgium in 1940 is at 7:00 PM EST, Wednesday, May 14 at: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82470869174?pwd=0XV1U1UmLeItZ563COwguoKVUaY4Xx.1

2. The presentation on zoom for The Battle of Antietam is at 07:00 PM EST, Wednesday, May 28 at: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/85687632247?pwd=pf8a9lZ1DNkrK9qrxmTOgkdOHk0lOU.1

Both are presented by Dr. James Slaughter. The format is that he will present for 30 to 45 minutes, and then we will open the floor for questions and discussion.



We do offer a guided tour of the Antietam battlefield at the end of the HAAC conference on Friday October 24. It will also be conducted by Dr. James Slaughter.
