The German Plan to Defeat Russia: How the German Army Failed Hitler

HOW DID THE GERMAN ARMY FAIL HITLER?

_______________________________________________


The biggest debacle of WW2 started before the first German bombs fell on Soviet soil.

It was triggered by a faulty technical study prepared by the German Army based on false premises, and it provided the wrong solutions.


In this book you will learn:

◆ How the German Army High Command designed military campaigns to destroy enemy armed forces

◆ What variables affected the plan the most

◆ And how the Germans envisaged the Red Army's destruction


The German approach to devise a war plan appeared logical and rational, but it rested on a linear process chain. The failure of any single element of this chain had the potential of ruining the whole concept.

On 21 July 1940, after the defeat of France, Germany lacked a plan to confront the Soviet Union. By December, the Wehrmacht possessed a comprehensive blueprint named Unternehmen Barbarossa.

At the highest levels, the German ground army commanders confidently predicted they could defeat the USSR in a short summer campaign. The Kriegsmarine and the Luftwaffe opposed the new war, but they failed to convince Hitler.

★ This book reveals why the Soviet planning, and preparation, proved superior despite having flaws of its own.
