9780850454338: German Commanders of World War II

Synopsis

This fascinating study by Anthony Kemp outlines the careers and characters of a number of senior German commanders.

To those who read military history many of the names are familiar. It is a paradox, however, that few biographies have been written. The impression still exists today of German generals as stiff-necked, scar-faced, monocled Prussians. Whilst in a few cases this was certainly true, the fact remains that all of them were men, some more ordinary than others.

With a variety of photographs, eight full-page colour plates by Angus McBride, accompanied by ten pages of commentaries, this is a first-class addition to Ospreys Men-at-Arms series.
