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.
