The German Generals Talk

The closing days of World War Two took a devastating toll on the German high command. But a few of Hitler's generals survived. In this fascinating book, first published in the 1950s, the German generals who survived Hitler’s Reich discuss World War II with Captain B. H. Liddell Hart, the noted British military strategist and writer.They speak as professional soldiers to a man they know and respect. For the first time, answers are revealed to many questions raised during the war. Was Hitler the genius of strategy he seemed to be at first? Why did his Generals never overthrow him? Why did Hitler allow the Dunkirk evacuation? What was the German Generals’ opinion of the Red Army as a fighting force? What did the Russians look like from the German side? How were the British regarded? And what are the advantages and disadvantages under which dictator-controlled armies fight?

In vivid, non-technical language, Capt. Liddell Hart reports these interviews and evaluates the vital military lessons of World War II.
