Hitler's Greatest Defeat
The German Collapse, 1944
Paul Adair New Paperback
Postscript summary
Two weeks after D-Day, the Russian offensive to re-capture Belorussia inflicted what might be argued was the more decisive blow to the Nazi war effort. Paul Adair’s analysis of the battle details how Hitler’s determination to hold territory interfered with his generals’ ability to make sound strategic decisions and ultimately led to the complete collapse of the German Army Group Centre.
Product information
Full publisher description
How the Nazis lost the war1944 was a year of trial for the German Army. While the Allies were preparing to invade the Third Reich from the west, Stalin was set on a massive offensive to liberate the last remaining areas of Soviet territory still held by the Germans. Hitler was determined to hold fast. His muddled strategic thinking nullified the undoubted operational ability of his generals, and disaster was the inevitable result.
This book is a gripping analysis of the Soviet campaign to capture Byelorussia, the German attempts to counter it, and the final, terrible collapse of Army Group Centre, inflicting even greater losses on the Germans than their earlier defeat at Stalingrad. It was a catastrophe of unbelievable proportions: 28 of 34 divisions, over 300,000 men, were lost. Hitler's war effort was doomed and broken.
An unputdownable history perfect for readers of Antony Beevor or James Holland.
