Book Overview
Despite huge odds against them, Hitler's commanders--the elite of the Wehrmacht--almost succeeded in conquering Europe. Now in an expanded edition that includes biographies of the generals of Stalingrad and a new chapter on the panzer commanders, this book offers rare insight into the men who ran Nazi Germany's war machine. Going beyond common stereotypes, Samuel W. Mitcham and Gene Mueller recount the compelling lives of a varied group of army, navy, Luftwaffe, and SS men, including their early life, their military exploits during the war, and their post-war career, if any. Weaving in dramatic stories of tank commanders, fighter pilots in aerial combat, and U-Boat aces, the authors bring the battlefields of World War II to life.

Shedding Added Perspective on Hitler's Military Machine
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This book offers a series of glimpses into the lives and careers of some of Germany's military leaders and heroes (obscure and not-so-obscure) of the Second World War. For the reader who already is a Second World War buff, do not come to this book expecting to find painstakingly detailed accounts of a general's military campaigns or a junior officer's triumphs on the battlefield. Both authors provide concise biographies of a number of military figures whose individual service is shown as emblematic of the services the Wehrmacht rendered to Hitler between 1939 and 1945.
