Hitler's Army: The Men, Machines, and Organization: 1939-1945

Hitler’s Army describes and analyzes every significant aspect of Germany’s WWII ground forces including their creation, organization, weapons, equipment, training and tactics. This book also considers its conduct in battle and its strengths and weaknesses. Hitler's Army is an essential reference, a balanced and indispensable aid for those wishing to understand how the vaunted, apparently unbeatable German army that went to war in 1939 just over five years later was consigned to total military defeat and the ignominy of unconditional surrender.
