Description

"Germany began the last year of the war in a crisis situation; the allied landings in Normandy had forced another battle arena upon an army already fighting on the vast Eastern Front where Army Group Centre was soon to collapse. The Last Year of the Germany Army charts the 'progress' of Hitler's army from May 1944 until May 1945, when the once all-conquering German Army was finally defeated. James Lucas examines the changing structure of the army throughout this final year of war, and reveals the often surprising measures taken to confront a situation Hitler had never contemplated, and which indeed he never really accepted. This book completes a trilogy -- covering the German Army, Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine -- that provides an unprecedented analysis of this traumatic period of the war"--Jacket.
