WW2: Both Sides of The Wire | A Battle Guide ProductionThe Greatest Victory of All Time?In this episode, we will tackle the German victory in the West and in particular over France in 1940. Even though it’s been partly overshadowed by later events in the war, at the time it was rightly seen as one of the greatest military victories of all time. It was a short but decisive campaign and it is still the source of all sorts of misunderstandings and controversy.Do you like our podcast?Then please leave us a review, it helps us a lot!Join Our Community: https://both-sides-of-the-wire.com 2024-08-211h 01

New Books in German Studies

New Books in German StudiesDavid Stahel, “Operation Barbarossa and Germany’s Defeat in the East” (Cambridge UP, 2009)This week’s podcast is an interview with David Stahel. I will be talking to him about his 2009 work, Operation Barbarossa and Germany’s Defeat in the East (Cambridge University Press, 2009). One of our previous guests, Matthias Strohn, recommended the book, and I am glad he did. Stahel’s book is an important contribution to our understanding of German planning for and execution of Operation Barbarossa. Stahel highlights the many flaws and paradoxes intrinsic to German thinking about war in the East, not least of which was the deception perpetrated by Halder, who masked the centrality of the drive on Mos...2012-02-131h 03

New Books in German Studies

New Books in German StudiesMatthias Strohn, “The German Army and the Defense of the Reich: Military Doctrine and the Conduct of the Defensive Battle, 1918-1939” (Cambridge UP, 2011)Matthias Strohn‘s The German Army and the Defense of the Reich: Military Doctrine and the Conduct of the Defensive Battle, 1918-1939 (Cambridge University Press, 2011) is an important challenge to the existing literature on interwar German military doctrine. The stunning German victories in 1939 and 1940 have usually been attributed to their practice of “Blitzkrieg” (Lightning War). The inventive use of armored divisions and airpower allowed the Wehrmacht to sweep its enemies from the battlefield with relatively low casualties (on the German side, at least) and with little negative impact on the German homefront or domestic economy.
