Deutsche Rückzug aus Frankreich 1944.
Inhalt:
The Allied invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944, marked a critical turning point in the European theatre of World War II. Many of the planners were surprised by the length of time it ultimately took to defeat the Germans. Concentrating on the crucial period from August to September, immediately after the invasion, Ludewig draws on military records from both sides to show that a quick defeat of the Germans was hindered by excessive caution and a lack of strategic boldness on the part of the Allies, as well as by the Germans' tactical skill and energy.
