Sommario/riassunto

Historians have vigorously debated whether the Wehrmacht's atrocities represented a break with the past or a continuation of Germany's military traditions. Now available for the first time in English, this meticulously researched yet accessible overview by Rolf-Dieter Müller provides the most comprehensive analysis of the organisation to date, illuminating its role in a complex, horrific era.
