John Lucy entitles a whole chapter of his book, Sleep Marching, and he talks about how there were people that would just stop at the side of the road and not care if the Germans were going to capture them.

Sentiment: Deep Dive
Trigger: exhaustion of soldiers
For: Historians and military enthusiasts
Key quote: Our Irish friend from the BEF, John Lucy, entitles a whole chapter of his book, Sleep Marching.
The host mentions 'Sleep Marching' to illustrate the extreme fatigue and despair faced by soldiers during the war. John Lucy's insights highlight how some soldiers were so exhausted that they would stop moving, indifferent to the advancing enemy.
