Title: A good primer, but not for the serious student.
Product review: This book lightly covers all the theaters of war. The Chapters include: Moulding the Soldier; Infantry; Panzer Forces; Artillery; Airborne and Special Forces; The Waffen-SS; Casualties of War; France 1940; North Africa 1941-43; The Eastern Front 1941-43; Defeat in the East 1943-5; The Italian Campaign 1943-45; Normandy 1944; North-West Europe 1944-45.It is not for the serious student that already has an overview of the Wehrmacht and wants details. That is why I got the book.Example: It talks about how well the Waffen-SS did in actual combat and about their stringent training requirements. It does not mention that the Waffen-SS Division had more tanks, equipment, and men than the Wehrmacht Division.It had a lot of personal stories in it.
