The Wehrmacht : History, Myth, Reality

Attribution
Wolfram Wette ; translated by Deborah Lucas Schneider
Publication Details
Book, Harvard University Press, 2006
Description
This book is a profound reexamination of the role of the German army, the Wehrmacht, in World War II. Until very recently, the standard story avowed that the ordinary German soldier in World War II was a good soldier, distinct from Hitler’s rapacious SS troops, and not an accomplice to the massacres of civilians. This sober indictment of millions of German soldiers reaches beyond the Wehrmacht’s complicity to examine how German academics and ordinary citizens avoided confronting this difficult truth at war’s end.

General Henri Guisan : Commander-in-Chief Of The Swiss Army In World War II

Attribution
by Willi Gautschi ; translated by Karl Vonlanthen
Publication Details
Book, Front Street Press, 2003
Description
During its darkest hour Switzerland was surrounded by aggressive fascist armies, with no allies within reach, its politicians quavering, and its people beginning to lose hope of retaining their freedom. The key to his military strategy was shifting the main strength of the Swiss Army to the Alps. His guidance, along with the Swiss system of universal male conscription, meant that the Germans, had they invaded, would have been fighting not just an army but a people.

In May-June 1940 the Germans demolished the French Army, inflicting more than 300,000 French casualties, including more than 120,000 dead.
