Churchill's entry for April 17 is astonishing.
Apparently British troops have landed near Narvik with no real plan, lead by a general with no intention of taking the fight to the Germans "till the snow melted," if then.
In the mean time, the Germans will have all the time they need to establish and fortify their positions.
Churchill must feel like President Lincoln did in dealing with the likes of General McClellan.
