<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Drawing on the latest source material, especially research only recently available from Russian archives, a noted expert gets into the minds of the Nazi generals who plotted World War II strategy, revisiting their crucial decisions--and the resulting consequences. Could the Germans really have won World War II? If they had done things differently--what would have happened? When were the major turning points? Brilliant strokes and blunders, opportunities taken and rejected, are skillfully observed.<BR><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>This is the book that answers the question: Could Germany have won World War Two?</b> <p/>This is a closely argued and wide-ranging assessment of just how, with so many alternatives open, the German High Command chose the path that led, ultimately, to its own destruction. Heinz Magenheimer examines in detail the options that were open to the Germans as the war progressed. He identifies the crucial moments at which fateful decisions needed to be taken and considers how decisions different from those actually taken could have propelled the conflict in entirely different directions. Using the very latest source material, in particular new research from Soviet/Russian sources, the author analyses motives and objectives and considers the opportunities taken or rejected, concentrating especially on specific phases of the conflict.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Heinz Magenheimer is one of Austria's most respected historians and commentators.
