Death of the Wehrmacht

In Death of the Wehrmacht, Robert Citino reevaluates 1942 as a pivotal year for the German military during World War II, highlighting how its reliance on swift, decisive campaigns contributed to both early successes and subsequent setbacks. The book explores major battles across the Russian and North African theaters, illustrating how traditional German warfare methods were increasingly unable to adapt to the changing realities of modern warfare. Ultimately, Citino argues that 1942 marked the decline of the centuries-old German way of war, shaping the course of the war’s future.
