HITLER'S COMMAND: Luftwaffe, Kriegsmarine, V Weapons, Jets and the A Bomb

1-242850

Analyzes the effect of Hitler's power to make all critical decisions relating to the strategic and operational deployment of the entire Wehrmacht. Examines how his decisions affected the development of German Jet aircraft, the types of U-Boats used, what priority assigned to key weapons in the overall German war effort, and what determined how programs such as the V1, V2, and the potential German Atomic bomb were integrated into the German war effort. All these matters were critical to the actual operational power of the Wehrmacht as opposed to its theoretical potential. Also explores the effect of the allied strategic bombing campaign on Germany's war potential and how effective the steps were Hitler ordered against it; as well as what the leading military figures of the Third Reich thought of Hitler's command. Contains 30 mono illustrations.
