Erich Von Manstein - LOST VICTORIES.pdf

Review "Wall Street Journal," October 7, 2006 "Generals don't make the best memoirists, mainly because they embellish while writing for posterity; the higher the rank, the worse the tome. The exception is the breathtaking autobiography of Field Marshal Erich von Manstein, the brilliant author of many Germany victories against the Soviets in World War II. Dismissive of oft-cited 'turning points, ' such as the German defeat at Stalingrad, von Manstein contends that the war was never winnable for Germany because of the leader prosecuting it. As for Hitler's once much-vaunted kinship with regular soldiers, he says the Fuehrer had 'as little in common with the thoughts and emotions of soldiers as had his party with the Prussian virtues which it was so fond of invoking.' Coming from Hitler's greatest general, it's a most effective filleting." http://www.amazon.com/Lost-Victories-Memoirs-Hitlers-Brilliant/dp/0760320543/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1236624381&sr=8-1
