Built by Nazi Germany between 1936 and 1938, over 500,000 workers were involved in its construction. This book gives a detailed historical background to the Siegfried Line, and a guide to what is left to see of it today. The line was not designed to thwart a full-scale offensive, but rather to delay any attack sufficiently to allow the German reserves to mobilise. In the 'phoney war' (1939-40) it was effective enough to prevent the French from launching a pre-emptive strike when German forces were heavily engaged in Poland. Certain sections of the defences saw some of the fiercest fighting of the Second World War. Much has since been dismantled, but some still remains today. This, the first English-language guide to the Siegfried Line, is fully illustrated and will appeal to anyone interested in the rise and fall of Hitler and Nazism, or in the Second World War in general.

On September 11, 1944, four American soldiers from the Fifth Armored Division crossed the river Our and entered Hitler's Third Reich -- the first hostile forces to penetrate German lines since the days of Napoleon. Above them on the heights they found abandoned bunkers of the vaunted Siegfried Line: a three-mile-deep series of fortifications with pillboxes, troop shelters, command posts, and antitank obstacles that ran along Germany's western frontier opposite the French Maginot Line. Four years earlier, British troops had boasted in song that they would hang their washing on the Siegfried Line, and now it seemed as if the Americans would fulfill that vow. But appearances proved as deceptive in 1944 as they had in 1940. By October, Allied troops were bogged down in one of the war's most bitter battles. Where the Siegfried Line ran through "the green hell" of the Huertgen Forest, three U.S. divisions were decimated. In December Hitler struck back, launching the Ardennes Offensive (also known as the Battle of the Bulge) from behind the Siegfried Line. Even after Generals Patton and Montgomery broke through in February 1945, two-thirds of the Siegfried Line still held firm in German hands. This masterful history recounts a crucial and compelling campaign in the twentieth-century epic that was World War II. - Publisher.

The battles for the Germans' last line of defense in World War II, including Arnhem, Aachen, the Huertgen Forest, and Metz How German commanders made decisions under fire Built as a series of forts, bunkers, and tank traps, the West Wall--known as the Siegfried Line to the Allies--stretched along Germany's western border. After D-Day in June 1944, as the Allies raced across France and threatened to pierce into the Reich, the Germans fell back on the West Wall. In desperate fighting--among the war's worst--the Germans held off the Allies for several months.

"The book focuses on people and human-interest subjects, not the war itself, supplemented by five maps and some 25 personal photographs. To aid the reader, the authors provide an introduction to the German involvement in the war, Wehrmacht organization, the land campaigns in Europe, and a glossary, index, and bibliography. Hermann Pfrengle's memoir adds an in-depth perspective to life on the German home front and the service of youth to the Third Reich."--BOOK JACKET.

“An intriguing account of two of Nazi Germany’s top architects” and how their work prolonged the war for months—includes hundreds of photos (WWII History). A Selection of the Military Book Club. While Nazi Germany’s temporary ascendancy owed much to military skill, the talent of its engineers not only buoyed the regime but allowed it to survive longer than would normally be expected. This unique work focusing on Fritz Todt and Albert Speer is based on many previously unpublished photographs and artwork from captured Nazi records. Todt was the brilliant builder of the world’s first superhighway system, the Autobahn, and the architect of the German West Wall, the Siegfried Line, that predated the later Atlantic and East Walls. The builder of each of the wartime “Führer Headquarters,” as well as the submarine pens, Todt was killed in a still-mysterious airplane crash that may well have been a Nazi death plot, though he was given a state funeral by Hitler. Todt was succeeded as German Minister of Armaments and War Production by the Führer’s longtime personal architect, Albert Speer, who was described by the Allies after the war as having prolonged the conflict by at least a year. Called a genius by Hitler, Speer designed and built the prewar Nuremberg Nazi Party Congress rally stands and buildings. More importantly, amid the constant rain of Allied bombs and the Soviet advances from the East, Speer managed to keep the German industrial machine running until the spring of 1945, though it was driven ever further underground. He also allocated resources to fortifications and counterattacks, like the V-missile installations, against both West and East, in attempts to stave off defeat. Convicted as a war criminal at Nuremberg, Speer served twenty years at Spandau Prison and remained a Nazi apologist who died in London in 1981 on the anniversary of the German invasion of Poland. Together, Todt and Speer were the pillars that propped up the Third Reich through the vicissitudes of battlefield fortune. With over three hundred photographs, this is the first work that examines their role in history’s most terrible war.

The extent to which the Nazi regime was truly representative of the German people was a key issue for external commentators. First published in 1940, The German People versus Hitler sets out to prove that the identification of ‘Germany and the Third Reich, Germanism and Nazism, the German people and the Nazi Party’ is a fallacy. It identifies widespread sources of opposition to the Nazi regime from all strata, including the Church and from the former socialist parties.
