Specificatii
For Hitler and the German military, 1942 was a key turning point of
World War II, as an overstretched but still lethal Wehrmacht
replaced brilliant victories and huge territorial gains with
stalemates and strategic retreats. In this major reevaluation of
that crucial year, Robert Citino shows that the German army's
emerging woes were rooted as much in its addiction to the war of
movement--attempts to smash the enemy in short and lively
campaigns--as they were in Hitler's deeply flawed management of the
war. From the overwhelming operational victories at Kerch and
Kharkov in May to the catastrophic defeats at El Alamein and
Stalingrad, Death of the Wehrmacht offers an eye-opening new view
of that decisive year. Building upon his widely respected critique
in The German Way of War, Citino shows how the campaigns of 1942
fit within the centuries-old patterns of Prussian/German warmaking
and ultimately doomed Hitler's expansionist ambitions. He examines
every major campaign and battle in the Russian and North African
theaters throughout the year to assess how a military geared to
quick and decisive victories coped when the tide turned against it.
Citino also reconstructs the German generals' view of the war and
illuminates the multiple contingencies that might have produced
more favorable results. In addition, he cites the fatal extreme
aggressiveness of German commanders like Erwin Rommel and assesses
how the German system of command and its commitment to the
independence of subordinate commanders suffered under the thumb of
Hitler and chief of staff General Franz Halder. More than the
turning point of a war, 1942 marked the death of a very old and
traditional pattern of warmaking, with the classic German way of
war unable to meet the challenges of the twentieth century.
Blending masterly research with a gripping narrative, Citino's
remarkable work provides a fresh and revealing look at how one of
history's most powerful armies began to founder in its quest for
world domination.
