Hitler's Commanders
German Bravery in the Field, 1939-1945
By James Lucas
Hilter's command of the German war machine was absolute, but it depended on the ability, judgement and loyalty of his senior officers to put his ideas into effect. They all came from different social backgrounds and their route to Army prominence also varied, but these were men who rose to the military challenge. The book covers the role and achievement of 14 of those commanders. The subjects include Werner Kempf, a Panzer commander in World War II, Eduard Dietl, the hero of Narvil, 1940; and Kurt Meyer, General Commander of Hilter's Youth Division and Theodor Scherer, the hero of Cholm, 1942.
