On September 1, 1939, Adolph Hitler inaugurated a new style of
warfare-blitzkrieg-that terrorized Europe for half a decade. This
"lightning war" provoked panic in millions and led to the downfall
of entire nations: Poland, Denmark, Norway, Belgium, Holland and,
one of the greatest military powers of the day, France. By summer
of 1940, Hitler's triumphant blitzkrieg cam-paigns gave his armies
a veneer of invincibility. Yet, the German strongman had not
achieved complete victory, causing Europe to plummet into world
war.Hitler's Blitzkrieg Campaigns: The Invasion and Defense of
Western Europe, 1939-1940 is an in-depth study of Hitler's early
campaigns in World War II. It describes in detail the German forces
that were used in blitzkrieg and the Allied armies that stood
against them, the many weapons fielded, and the offensive and
defensive strategies that were employed.The book presents some of
the most complete maps of these early World War II campaigns,
complex diagrams of the Maginot fortifications and orders of battle
for German, French and British armies. Unlike most treatments of
the campaigns which focus on British contributions to the war
against Hitler in 1939-1940, the authors also analyze the strengths
and weaknesses of the other Allies-Poland, Norway, the Netherlands,
Belgium and France.This is a book about an evolution in warfare. It
tells how the Germans were able to master modern weapons to make an
awesome military machine for frightful purposes and about the
initial Allied attempts to stop its march across Europe.Richly
illustrated with photos, maps and diagrams
