Blitz-kreig

Len Deighton

A compelling history of Blitzkrieg: the 'lightning war'. It gives a chilling portrait of Hitler's rise to power, setting the stage for the Second World War and his conquests of Poland and Norway. It shows the tactical thinking behind Blitzkrieg, pre-eminently the Panzer tank, that made it possible. Concluding with an account of the campaigns that drove the German armies through the Low Countries and into France, Deighton reveals the Fuhrer's 'fatal flaw', which made possible the evacuation of Allied forces from Dunkirk.
