The Last Year of the German Army
May 1944–May 1945
James Lucas New Paperback
Postscript summary
As the Second World War entered what would be its final year, Hitler was increasingly isolated from his senior officers, who felt unable to tell him about the disastrous impact of his policies. James Lucas examines the changing structure of the German army during this era and offers accounts of the battles they continued to fight, from D-Day to the Fall of Berlin.
Product information
Full publisher description
The year the once all-conquering German army was finally defeated.By the summer of 1944, Germany was in crisis. The Allied landings had forced another battle arena upon an army already fighting on the vast Eastern front. The July bomb plot attempt on Hitler's life made the dictator even more paranoid and suspicious of his own military commanders.
In this absorbing study, James Lucas examines the army's changing structure and weaponry 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.
From D-Day to the Battle of the Bulge and on to the Fall of Berlin, the author examines the last battles fought by the German army - which had by no means given up its struggle - as the Allies swept across Europe, charting the very unique experiences of a military force moving from dominance to defeat.
Perfect for readers of Antony Beevor and Max Hastings.
