Book Details
In this book, Heinz Magenheimer examines in detail the options that were open to the Germans as the war progressed. He identifies the crucial moments at which fateful decisions needed to be taken and considers how decisions different from those actually taken could have propelled the conflict in entirely different directions. In reconstructing the scenarios available at each stage of the war, he is careful to take into account all the factors - political, military, economic and technological - affecting the decision-makers at Fuhrer Headquarters, the Foreign Ministry, the supreme commands of the three arms of the Wehrmacht and, in specific instances, those responsible for armament. For from being just another 'what-if?' speculation, this is a closely argued and wide-ranging assessment of just how, with so many alternatives open, the German High Command chose the path that led, ultimately, to its own destruction.
