The Last Year of the German Army

May 1944–May 1945
The year the once all-conquering German army was finally defeated.

By the summer of 1944, Germany was in crisis. The Allied landings had forced another battle arena upon an army already fighting on the vast Eastern front. The July bomb plot attempt on Hitler's life made the dictator even more paranoid and suspicious of his own military commanders.

In this absorbing study, James Lucas examines the army's changing structure and weaponry throughout this final year of war, and reveals the often surprising measures taken to confront a situation Hitler had never contemplated, and never really accepted.

From D-Day to the Battle of the Bulge and on to the Fall of Berlin, the author examines the last battles fought by the German army which had by no means given up its struggle as the Allies swept across Europe, charting the very unique experiences of a military force moving from dominance to defeat.

Perfect for readers of Antony Beevor and Max Hastings.
