About Germany And The Second World War: Volume IV: The
Product Description Nine months after the beginning of the Second World War, German dominance over much of Europe seemed assured. Hitler not only stood on the pinnacle of his popularity in Germany but more than ever his ideological fixations and political calculations determined German war policy. This volume, the fourth in the acclaimed Germany and the Second World War series, examines the thinking behind the decision to go to war with the Soviet Union which was to prove the undoing of the German war effort. The authors examine in revealing detail the military and political policies behind the attack on the Soviet Union and the strategic conduct of the war. They explore not only the command principles and practices, but also the expenditure and attrition of the forces, and show that by the end of 1941 it was clear that it was in the eastern theatre that the Second World War would be decided and the map of Europe redrawn. Review "An indispensable new dimension is added to our understanding of the conflict...describes events in ruthless detail from the view point of the Third Reich" ―Evening Standard "I assure you all that it is worth every penny! This one volume seems to be destined to become THE definitive study on the German planning and invasion of the Societ Union for decades to come. The wealth of detail and information included in this work is simply staggering ... I wholeheartedly recommend this book." ―Axis Europa About the Author Horst Boog, Militargeschichtliches Forschungsamt (Research Institute for Military History) Jurgen Forster, Militargeschichtliches Forschungsamt (Research Institute for Military History) Joachim Hoffman, Militargeschichtliches Forschungsamt (Research Institute for Military History) Ernst Klink, Militargeschichtliches Forschungsamt (Research Institute for Military History) Rolf-Dieter Muller, Militargeschichtliches Forschungsamt (Research Institute for Military History) Gerd R.
