Description
|
|
|
|
As Führer of the Third Reich, Adolf Hitler was responsible for deciding German war aims in 1939; as head of the armed forces, he was also responsible for the overall Wehrmacht strategy intended to achieve these aims. Rupert Matthews examines Hitler's key military decisions during World War II and assesses how far these decisions were militarily justified in light of the intelligence available at the time. Perhaps most significantly, Matthews considers how a non-German former corporal managed to take personal control of an army with Prussian traditions; appoint, sack, and sentence to death its generals at will; lead it into a war it was not prepared for; and ultimately destroy it.
