General Halder gives a detailed account of all the tactical moves employed by the German Army. There is one tremendous glaring fact presented time and time again: Adolph Hitler thought that he was the "super field marshal when in fact the Bohemian corporal knew absolutely nothing about field tactics, strategy, which includes offensive and defensive movements. The little corporal and even many of his German Officers failed miserably to recognize that they could not possibly win a Four front war. The German Army was bled dry by the war of attrition on the Eastern Front because of superior numbers of soldiers serving Stalin. When you have lost air supremacy you have lost the war. The Navy was not up to the fight against the United States or England. Then you add 3,000,000 more allied troops and there is no hope. This great book deserves to be on the shelf of any WW II history collection."; English And German Edition Series; 9.5 X 6.5 X 2.4 inches; 716 pages .
