 Rating:  - Fascinating material in a slanted wrapping.Certainly a very interesting book with information directly from the lips of the great German generals of WWII.

Were we only able to have such accounts from Antony or old Parmenio. Alas, the ancients are long dead. But this book yeilds a bumper crop for those desiring to learn specifics about German Strategy in the Second World War. Explicit technical accounts delivered with German detail. For example, ...
