39-45 on the books often focus only on battles or are more general and synthetic, it really lingers on how the whole machinery of Nazi Germany and from 30 to 45 years.
WWII appears increasingly as an inevitable element of the end of the First World War and the "Diktat" of the Versailles Treaty combined with the 29 crisis.
The Nazis had an ideology, but this is obviously not enough to win them the war.
For this they have demonstrated an exceptional organization.
How to source raw materials?
How to feed the German people?
How to find cheap labor Doeuvre necessary to Reich?
How to organize production, how to protect the plants, how to supply the front?
And how to finance with such ulterior motives?
Finally, what is the best time to attack?
LAllemagne had his faults, of which its leaders were fully aware. What this book shows is that it is the combination of industry, economy, tactics, luck and a terribly fierce ideology that allowed the 3rd Reich's defeat in its infancy .
Excellent as comparisons with their opponents: it has long been known, but the French army was considered the best in the world at the beginning of the war, especially fishing that the aviation side, and his defeat is unfortunately the fact Hitler's tactical genius.
Finally, reassuring if the German economy has enabled the early successes, the American monster was somehow tip the balance in favor of the Allies.
For extending to the east and ending up with 41 officially facing the United States, Germany was caught at his own game.
I am not sufficiently expert to say, as some have done, that this work will go down in those on World War II, but it is actually so great and explores other facets than those usually presented.
The theme also continues to provide many books, including most recently. I recommend two great books:
"The Second World War" Beevor, an eminent specialist:
and especially "The Great Turning: why the Allies won the war" Kennedy, great, full of new information, my favorite:
A final word about the other comments on this page, I read with pleasure and mostly found most excellent.
