| Summary: | Leading German military historian Wolfram Wette has written the equivalent of an extended lawyer's brief arguing for a fundamental revision of the popular conception of the role of the German army during World War II. To a reader acquainted with the latest research on the Wehrmacht, Wette's book seems more a summing up than a disclosure of new evidence. But for the more general reader, his arguments will provide a powerful corrective to the outdated view that Wehrmacht leaders were dragged unwillingly into complicity in Nazi-mandated crimes. |
