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.

Among The Dead Cities : The History And Moral Legacy Of The WWII Bombing Of Civilians In Germany And Japan

Attribution
A.C. Grayling
Publication Details
Book, 1st U.S. ed, Walker & Co, 2006
Links
- Publisher description
Description
When Nuremberg was scouted in 1945 as a possible site for the Nazi war crime trials, an American damage survey of Germany described it as being ?among the dead cities? Arguing persuasively that the victor nations have never had to consider the morality of their policies during World War II, he offers a powerful, moral re-examination of the Allied bombing campaigns against civilians in Germany and Japan, in the light of principles enshrined in the post-war conventions on human rights and the laws of war. Addressing one of today?s key moral issues, Among the Dead Cities is both a dramatic retelling of the World War II saga, and vitally important reading for our time.
