Adolf Hitler's Great War military experiences in no way qualified
him for supreme command. Yet by July 1940, under his personal
leadership the Third Reich's armed forces had defeated Poland,
Czechoslovakia, Holland, Denmark, Norway, Belgium and France. The
invasion of Great Britain was a distinct reality following Dunkirk.
Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania had become allies along with the
acquiescent military powers of Mussolini's Italy and Franco's
Spain. These achievements prompted Field Marshal Willem Keitel, the
Wehrmacht's Chief of Staff, to pronounce Hitler to be the Greatest
Commander of all time'. Storm clouds were gathering, most notably
the disastrous decision to tear up the treaty with the Soviet Union
and launch Operation Barbarossa in 1941. As described in this
meticulously researched and highly readable book, Hitler's blind
ideology, racist hatred and single-mindedness led him and his
allies inexorably to devastating defeat. How far was it good luck
that gave Hitler his sensational early political and military
successes? Certainly fortune played a major role in his survival
from many assassination attempts and sex scandals. The author
concludes, from 1941 onwards, the Fuhrer's downfall was entirely
attributable to military misjudgements that he alone made. Lucky
Hitler's Big Mistakes exposes the enigmatic Dictator for what he
really was - incredibly lucky and militarily incompetent.
