More Book Details

Description of the Book:

Fuehrer Conferences on Naval Affairs, 1939-1945 is the faithful, first-hand account of Hitler’s meetings with his high-ranking officers. Such was the nature of these meetings that even secretaries were excluded, and both Raeder and Donitz personally checked the typescripts of the meeting-notes before approving them. The conferences concerned either subjects upon which Hitler requested information or topics that the commanders-in-chief wanted to bring to the Fuehrer’s attention. This is, therefore, an authentic and intimate account of the views of Axis high command upon naval strategy and its execution throughout World War II, covering such key events as the assault on Norway, the plans to invade Britain, the sinking of the Bismarck, and the Normandy landings. Indeed, Hitler’s comments and decisions are noted throughout.
