Hitler's Defeat on the Western Front 1944-1945 is a compelling
account of the Nazis' ten month struggle against the overwhelming
Allied military might on the Western Front. Thanks to the
successful Images of War format of authoritative text supported by
copious, well captioned contemporary images, the reader witnesses
the intensity of the fighting from the Normandy beaches, through
France and the Low Countries and finally into Germany itself.
Despite demoralising withdrawals and reversals the Wehrmacht,
Waffen-SS, Hitlerjugend, Volkssturm with many barely trained
conscripts, continued to fight tenaciously inflicting significant
losses on their superior enemy. The graphic images are testimony to
their exhaustion and resilience but defeat became increasingly
certain. Even when the Allies crossed the Rhine in early 1945 with
the Russians closing on Berlin from the East, the shattered
remnants of Hitler's once all-conquering forces had nowhere to go.
That did not stop fanatical elements fighting to the death but the
bulk of the survivors accepted surrender as inevitable. This
superbly illustrated book captures the drama of that historic
period.
