"The AéMI possessed 250 combat aircraft, of which 90 were fighter aircraft, 12 were bombers and 12 were reconnaissance aircraft. Only 50 were of reasonably modern standard.[42][43] When including liaison and transport aircraft, a total strength of 377 is reached;[48]" This math doesn't fit. Could someone with access to the sources please clarify ? (114 fighter,bombers and recons but 250 combat aircraft excluding transports ?) 217.235.13.103 ( talk) 21:54, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
Hello, I have included Luxembourg in the infobox since its invasion can certainly be seen as part of the Battle of Belgium. If anyone disagrees, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts. Brigade Piron ( talk) 08:20, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
There's citations for the following but no such books are listed in the bibliography:
141 divisions? I don't think so! -- 41.150.168.21 ( talk) 14:06, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
Shouldn't most of this information be transferred to the Battle of the Lys article, with the section here offering a link? 2602:306:C53C:C0E0:2954:44A6:3A12:4111 ( talk) 10:40, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
Why there was 1,9 millions french POW ? I mean, when exactly that happens ? 2A02:A03F:6599:5B00:A992:26E1:51BB:4F96 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 13:21, 25 April 2020 (UTC)
This text leaves much room for improvement. It is largely an accumulation of quotations from good sources, which, however, sometimes duplicate each other, sometimes contradict each other and omit many things. There is no stringent systematic approach. The topic should first be sensibly structured and presented, then substantiated with sources. Inconsistencies arise in the way the topic is treated here.-- Landkraft ( talk) 23:00, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved to alternate. Andrewa ( talk) 18:39, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
Battle of Belgium → Invasion of Belgium (1940) – Both Google NGRAMS [2] and Google Scholar [3] [4] [5] indicate that "invasion" is by far the most common name for the 1940 German invasion of Belgium. The second most common name is "Belgian campaign". ( t · c) buidhe 15:09, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
