Hitler - Military Commander examines Hitler's key military decisions during WWII, and assesses how far these decisions were militarily justified in light of the intelligence available at the time. It tackles the larger questions of how a non-German former corporal managed to take personal control of an army with the Prussian traditions of the German army, appoint, sack and sentence to death its generals at will, to lead it into a World War it was not prepared for, and, ultimately, to destroy it.

Friedrich von Boetticher was Germany's only military attache accredited to the United States between the world wars. As such, he was Germany's observer in the nation whose military potential might have given Hitler pause in any predatory plans he harboured against his neighbours, and he has been accused of giving Berlin an overly optimistic impression of America's capacity to fight. Beck's portrait of Von Boetticher reveals how his strong attachments to America vied with his loyalty to Germany.

This book is a catalogue of propaganda leaflets, reproduced here in colour in the original size, collected during the battle, documenting the Nazi's skillful but ultimately unsuccessful campaign to win the battle.
