BLITZKRIEG IN THEIR OWN WORDS FIRST-HAND ACCOUNTS FROM GERMAN SOLDIERS 1939-1940
Book Type: C Forward by Heinz Guderian. Blitzkrieg in their own Words is a military history of these campaigns written by those taking part. The short individual accounts give a unique perspective into the workings of the German war machine during its greatest victories, before the disaster of the Russian Front. The authoritative text is complemented by maps that explain the movement of forces and photographs of key battles and encounters during the German attacks. With rare photographs of the action accompanying the text, the book will be of interest to any World War II enthusiast. This book was originally published in 1942 in Germany and this is the first English translation. Written in the naive, fresh style of young men new to combat, the text recounts the ruthless destruction of the Polish and French armies in language that shocks in its brutal enthusiasm. 256 pp.
