"Comprehensive, well written, important. Megargee has a superb grasp of the internal politics of the German Army and does a first-rate job in describing the personalities of the high command and their relationships" -- James S. Corum. From the Dust Jacket: "Challenging previous accounts, Geoffrey Megargee shatters the myth that German generals would have prevailed in World War II if only Hitler had not meddled in their affairs. INSIDE HITLER'S HIGH COMMAND reveals that while Hitler was the central figure in many military decisions, his generals were equal partners in Germany's catastrophic defeat. Megargee exposes the structure, processes, and personalities that governed the Third Reich's military decision making and shows how Germany's presumed battlefield superiority was undermined by poor strategic and operational planning at the highest levels. His study tracks the evolution of German military leadership under the Nazis from 1933 to 1945." Keywords: Third Reich. WWII. WW2. Germany. Military History. First Printing of the First Edition.
