The Beginning of the End. . . . . . . . . . June 6, 1944 - D-Day. The day when, after years of preparation, Germany's opponents in the west - the USA and England - began the second front, long demanded by Stalin to take pressure off the Red Army. What really happened on that day? Why was the German command reluctant to believe in an invasion at this hour and on this coastal sector? Where was the German counterattack? Why were the panzer divisions, which were ready for action, not allowed to strike? What was going on with the Luftwaffe? Carell answers these questions convincingly, factually and in his typically gripping style.

Mass market paperback. Condition: Good. x, 691, [3] pages. Maps. Some cover and edge soiling Includes chapters on Moscow, Leningrad; Rostov, Winter Battle, The Ports on the Arctic Ocean, The Caucasus and the Oilfields, and Stalingrad. Also includes Appendix, Acknowledgment, Bibliography, and Index of Names. Paul Carell (born Paul Karl Schmidt; 2 November 1911, Kelbra - 20 June 1997) was a writer and propagandist. Schmidt served as the chief press spokesman for Joachim von Ribbentrop's Foreign Ministry. In this capacity during WWII, he maintained close ties with the Wehrmacht, while he served in the Allgemeine-SS (General SS). One of his specialties was the "Jewish question". After the war, Carell became a successful author, although some critics have claimed that his books romanticized and whitewashed the Wehrmacht. Paul Karl Schmidt became a member of the Nazi Party in 1931 and a member of the SS in 1938. He graduated from university in 1934, and became an assistant at the Institute of Psychology of the Universität Kiel in Germany. He held several positions in the Nazi Student Association. Schmidt was arrested on 6 May 1945 and interned for 30 months. During the Ministries Trial, part of the Nuremberg Trials, he finally appeared as a witness for the prosecution, and portrayed himself as a fighter for democratic freedom of the press. After World War II, Schmidt became a writer. Aided by the network of 'old comrades' working in the publishing industry, he was able to secure assignments. Starting in the 1950s, he wrote for the popular magazine Kristall. He first used the pseudonym Paul Karell, and later Paul Carell. One of the Most Ingenious Accounts of a Military Campaign Ever Written! Based on personal interviews with actual participants from both sides, and years of exhaustive research in memoirs, diaries, and documents, the author has dramatically reconstructed Hitler's daring and disastrous campaign in Russia. In every moment, it is easy to follow Hitler's and Stalin's policies and disputes, the positions and movements of the great armies, and the major battles. Vivid anecdotes, seldom fund in a history covering a campaign of such magnitude, convey the actual experience of the men who lived and died in this almost limitless holocaust. Derived from a Kirkus review: One of the most ingenious accounts of a military campaign every written. It provides a procession of nail-sharp details, the almost day-by-day chronicle simmering with narrative expanse, dramatic snapshots of the participants, and an assured scholarship. The subject is the ill-fated German invasion of Russia. The author takes some pains to salvage the Panzer Corps reputation, Hitler's tactical nonsense being held responsible for the '42 fiasco: the bypassing of the capital in favor of the Caucasian oil lands, with the resultant Stalingrad debacle. Each maneuver is strikingly delineated, contrasting both fronts and using highly effectively dialogue, switchbacks, close-ups of civilians, eyewitness interjections, high and low life incidents- all work astonishingly well. A strong success. Presumed First Bantam Edition [stated]. Presumed First printing.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Reprint. "Succeeds superbly in conveying the atmosphere inside the German strongpoints on the coast, and among the infantry and armoured units stationed along and behind the 'Atlantic Wall' that was to guard Hitler's 'European Fortress.' At the same time it enables the reader to grasp and follow the tactical and strategic moves in this decisive battle. We witness the confident morale of the German troops, born of discipline and a belief in the efficiency of higher commands and staffs, give way to the first doubts as the promised reinforcements and air support fail to materialise; we watch these doubts turn to disillusionment, and eventually into a dull indifference or sullen, angry disobedience. Thus, as we follow the carpet-bombing of towns and the inexorable dive-bombing of bridges, cross-roads, and troops on the march, the capture of town after town and village after village, we are witnesses at the same time of an even more terrifying spectacle: the crumbling and utter collapse of what, but a few years previously, had been the most powerful war machine in history." - dust jacket.
