Author: team Name: Top Officers of the 3rd Reich Publisher: Tornado, Riga Year of publication: 1997 Number of pages: 47 Language: Russian Format: PDF Size:36 MB Quality: Good Series Army Series 27. This book provides a brief description of the military career of some of the highest German commanders of the Second World War. The book focuses on combat commanders who distinguished themselves at the front, while staff officers, Tin Halder (Haider) and Keitel (Keitel), did not get into this book. This choice is made for purely subjective reasons and should in no way be correlated with the role of one or another commander in the war. For those who are familiar with military history, many of the names found in the book will seem familiar. However, the biographies of many prominent generals (with the possible exception of such a "cult" figure as Rommel) are not written. Until now, the phrase "German general" conjures up in the reader's mind the image of a Prussian with a tightly fastened collar, a stone face and a monocle in his eye. In some cases, the German generals did look like this, but the reality is much more diverse than the established clichés. No army has a monopoly on complete competence: and if the German army was able to educate only one or two "great", the "good" in its ranks was more than enough.. com 85
