Within six months, the invasion bogged down on the outskirts of Moscow, and the Eastern Front proved to be the decisive theater in the defeat of the Third Reich. Ever since, most historians have agreed that this was Hitler's gravest mistake. In Hitler's Great Gamble, James Ellman argues that while Barbarossa was a gamble and perverted by genocidal Nazi ideology, it was not doomed from the start. Rather it represented Hitler's best chance to achieve his war aims for Germany which were remarkably similar to those of the Kaiser's government in 1914. Other options, such as an invasion of England, or an offensive to seize the oil fields of the Middle East were considered and discarded as unlikely to lead to Axis victory. ![]() English | 2021 | ISBN: 9781526771025 | 444 pages | True EPUB | 102.67 MB "A definitive introduction by a highly recognized authority who writes beautifully and clearly." -Naval Historical Foundation ![]() English | 164 pages | PDF | 200.13 MB [center] ![]() English | 132 pages | PDF | 210.01 MB [center] ![]() English | 2021 | ISBN: 9781526785862 | 499 pages | True EPUB | 1.19 MB This book tells the true story of Himmler's plan to use prominent WWII concentration camp prisoners as hostages in an attempt to engage the Western Powers in negotiations.
