| Summary: | This book addresses four German defeats during World War II, each chronologically close to a wave of deportations of Jews: Moscow 1941, as the first transports left Germany; Stalingrad 1942–43, during Operation Reinhard (the massacre of the Jews of Poland); Kursk 1943, following suppression of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising; and the Allied invasion and breakout from Normandy in 1944, overlapping with the deportations from Hungary. The author contends that in each case the diversion of locomotives and rolling stock to the Holocaust translated into a decisive shortage of German troops and supplies., Pasher challenges two established historical consensuses. The first is that Germany's defeat in each of these instances was virtually pre-determined. |
