Description
Hitler's Enforcers:
James Lucas, military historian and British Army veteran, spoke with many veterans of both Axis and Allied armies, digging deeper into the question of what it is that makes a good soldier. His studies of German forces are some of the most insightful and significant ever undertaken, showing why they were such formidable foes.Here he has selected fifteen of the leading players in Hitler’s war effort, including men at or near the top, and describes their role in the German military hierarchy and their performance at strategic or battlefield level.
The Last Year of the German Army:
In May 1944, Germany was in a crisis. The Allied landings in Normandy had forced another battle arena upon an army already fighting on the vast Eastern front, where its leadership was soon to collapse. In just 12 months, Berlin would fall.In this absorbing study, James Lucas examines the changing structure of the army throughout this final year of war, and reveals the often surprising measures taken to confront a situation Hitler had never contemplated, and never really accepted.
Storming Eagles:
The daring, courage and skill of the highly-trained men who spearheaded German assaults in the blitzkrieg of 1940, dropping from the air to seize and overwhelm key invasion points, showed to an alarmed world that a new dimension had been added to the science of warfare.One spectacular success was the invasion and capture of Crete in May 1941, all be it achieved at a terrible price.
