Description

WHY DID GERMANY turn its attention to Africa in 1941, when Hitler's own interests lay to the West with Britain, and to the East with Russia? Germany had no colonial assets to protect in North Africa, and Hitler was not looking to acquire any. Why then Africa? To find the answer we must look to Italy and the imperious imagination of Italian dictator Benito Mussolini, to the British and their desire to protect the strategically important supply routes through the Mediterranean and the Suez Canal in Egypt, and to the over-ambitious German battle commander Erwin Rommel who exceeded his orders and raced headlong across North Africa in pursuit of glory.

The Panzers of the Third Reich would race across North Africa at Rommel's command in a desperate bid to break the strength of the British Eight Army. In the end Montgomery would turn the tables on the Desert Fox, and claim final victory. The Afrika Korps would be utterly broken, and Rommel would be dispatched to the Western Wall.

THE MAKING HITLER and BREAKING HITLER series describe in simple terms, though without sacrificing the details, the important events in the history of the Third Reich. The history of Nazi Germany is complex, and often hard for the casual reader to grasp. So much was happening at the time, and there was so much political intrigue, that the simple story is easily lost. These books bring back the story, in plain language that makes reading them a pleasure.
