Hitler's Deserters

This audiobook provides the first English-language account of Wehrmacht deserters during World War II, exploring their motivations, actions, and the various ways they evaded service. It examines how desertion was perceived and punished during the war, as well as the subsequent decades of debate in Germany over the moral and societal implications of these desertions. The narrative also discusses the long-lasting discussions among Germans about the role of the Wehrmacht, culminating in the decision to overturn many wartime military court-martial verdicts.
