About this title

Synopsis

History, they say, is written by the victors, and to date that has certainly been true of World War II. What few German accounts do exist are, furthermore, generally written by those in positions of authority, not by the soldiers and airmen who fought in the front line. Servants of Evil shows us, for the first time, the Second World War as seen from "the other side" ? by the boys and men who went to war believing in the Reich and in victory, only to see the myth of German invincibility crumble in the face of supposed impossibilities: the fighting ability and determination of the Russians; the strength of the Royal Air Force; the defeat of the U-boats by improved radar technology; the might and remarkable manufacturing capability of the USA ? and, finally, the fall of Berlin.
