The authors examine the train of interconnected political and military events, and set military operations against the background of Hitler's war policy and general aims, both immediate and long term. Their comprehensive analysis, based on detailed scholarly research, is underpinned by a full apparatus of maps, diagrams, and tables. The conflict took a course quite different from that which Hitler had intended, but nevertheless resulted in a series of conquests for the Third Reich. At the same time, the establishment of hegemony on the European continent confronted the aggressor with new problems. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIntensively researched and documented, \u003cem\u003eGermany and the Second World War\u003c\/em\u003e is an undertaking of unparalleled scope and authority.
