Sommario/riassunto

Volume VII of the 'Germany and the Second World War' series looks at Germany and her Japanese ally on the defensive after the tide of war turned in 1943. An exhaustive study of the air war over the Reich and the Luftwaffe's growing impotence is followed by an account of the invasion of occupied France and the Allies' advance to Germany's borders. A final section examines Japan's defeat and capitulation, and



the creation of a new order in the Far East. - ;By the spring of 1943, after the defeat at Stalingrad, the writing was on the wall.
