A compelling history of Blitzkrieg: the 'lightning war' by which Hitler and his generals overwhelmed the Allied armies in Western Europe. 'Blitzkrieg' begins with a chilling portrait of Hitler's rise to power in pre-war Germany, setting the stage for the outbreak of the Second World War and his conquests of Poland and Norway. This riveting history sets out clearly the tactical thinking behind Blitzkrieg and focuses an expert's eye on the materiel - pre-eminently the Panzer tank - that made it possible. Concluding with a compelling account of the campaigns that drove the German armies through the Low Countries and into France, Deighton reveals the F???hrer's 'fatal flaw', which made possible the evacuation of Allied forces from Dunkirk. 'Blitzkrieg' is the story of Hitler's triumph and Europe's darkest hour. Few writers have understood it as well as Deighton - an ex-RAF pilot - and perhaps none has been able to describe it so tellingly.

BCE. 296 pp., photos, figures, maps, footnotes, biblio, index, foreword by General Walther K. Nehring, aD, formerly Heinz Guuderian's Chief of Staff. Hitler and his generals unleashing a new kind of warfare, characterized by unprecedented coordination of tanks, infantry, and aircraft, and above all by lightning speed: Nazi troops sweeping across a dazed Europe. Poland grabbed in 18 days, the Maginot Line breached, Frank and the Low Countries subdued, Britain exposed and alone. Deighton traces the idea, planning and realization of blitzkrieg from its roots in the aftermath of Versailles-a demoralized Germany psychologically ready for Hitler and his radical tactics.
