The Allied invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944, marked a critical
turning point in the European theater of World War II. The massive
landing on France's coast had been meticulously planned for three
years, and the Allies anticipated a quick and decisive defeat of
the German forces. Many of the planners were surprised, however, by
the length of time it ultimately took to defeat the Germans. While
much has been written about D-day, very little has been written
about the crucial period from August to September, immediately
after the invasion. In Ruckzug, Joachim Ludewig draws on military
records from both sides to show that a quick defeat of the Germans
was hindered by excessive caution and a lack of strategic boldness
on the part of the Allies, as well as by the Germans' tactical
skill and energy. This intriguing study, translated from German,
not only examines a significant and often overlooked phase of the
war, but also offers a valuable account of the conflict from the
perspective of the German forces.
