Summary

Essential background to the German blitzkrieg of World War II

Complements the stories of panzer aces like Otto Carius and Michael Wittmann

In the wake of World War I, the German army lay in ruins - defeated in the war, sundered by domestic upheaval, and punished by the Treaty of Versailles.

A mere 20 years later, Germany possessed one of the finest military machines in the world, capable of launching a stunning blitzkrieg attack against Poland in 1939.

Well-known military historian Robert M. Citino shows how Germany accomplished this astonishing reversal and developed the doctrine, tactics, and technologies that its military would use to devastating effect in World War II.

Profile Image for Stewart F

Very little on 1930s Training - disappointed

The title suggests that this book covers the entire period up to 1939. It barely covers the period 1933 to 1939. I expected better.
