Hitler's War: Germany's Key Strategic Decisions 1940-1945 - Paperback

by Heinz Magenheimer (Author)

Drawing on the latest source material, especially research only recently available from Russian archives, a noted expert gets into the minds of the Nazi generals who plotted World War II strategy, revisiting their crucial decisions--and the resulting consequences. Could the Germans really have won World War II? If they had done things differently--what would have happened? When were the major turning points? Brilliant strokes and blunders, opportunities taken and rejected, are skillfully observed.
