MILITARY GENERAL WWII

 Among the many myths about the relationship of Nazism to the mass of the German population, few proved more powerful in postwar West Germany than the notion that the Wehrmacht had not been involved in the crimes of the Third Reich. This volume demolishes this Wehrmacht myth.
Former generals were particularly effective in spreading, through memoirs and speeches, the legend that millions of German soldiers had fought an honest and »clean« war and that mass murder, especially in the East, was entirely the work of Himmler’s SS. This volume contains the most important contributions by distinguished historians who have thoroughly demolished this Wehrmacht myth. The picture that emerges from this collection is a depressing one and raises many questions about why »ordinary men« got involved as perpetrators and bystanders in an unprecedented program of extermination of »racially inferior« men, women, and children in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union during the Second World War.
