Hard cover, small format (6"x9"), 210 pages, 75 photographs, numerous maps and charts. German general officer casualties in WW2 were far higher than those of all the Allied nations combined. French MacLean, a Lieutenant Colonel in the US Army (ret.) examines all aspects of why the German armed forces lost so many high-ranking officers. The result is a fascinating look at how the German war machine was directed at the combat level as most senior officers directed combat operations from the front; instead of at a headquarters a safe distance from the battle. The subject has not been covered in any book previously published in English.

Karl Baur was one of the elite test pilots that developed the revolutionary Me 262 jet fighter. The photographs of rare and exotic Messerschmitt aircraft are alone worth the price of the book.

At last, a single-source reference book which accurately details the German field forces employed in Normandy in 1944 and their losses. Chapters include: German Combat Organization (overview); Number of Soldiers Employed; Effects of Allied Air Power; German Armor in Normandy; German Losses in Normandy; Combat Efficiency; and, Unit Movements. In addition, there is a capsule history of every major formation employed in Normandy: infantry and Panzer divisions and separate formations; artillery and Werfer (rocket) units; corps and field-army formations and miscellaneous elements which could bring combat power to bear. Dr. Zetterling provides a sobering analysis of the subject matter and debunks a number of popular myths concerning the campaign (the effectiveness of Allied air power; the preferential treatment of Waffen-SS formations in comparison to their army counterparts; etc.). He supports his text with exhaustive footnoting and provides an organizational chart for most of the formations covered in the book. Includes numerous organizational diagrams, charts, tables and graphs.
