Book description
One of the greatest military feats during the Second World War was the
transformation of the German force's activities in the weeks following
the battles in Holland and the German border, where the Allies had
finally inflicted the greatest catastrophes of modern war on them.
Somehow the Germans found the strength to halt the Allied advance in its
tracks and to prolong the war to 1945. This book is the epic story of
those last eight months of the war in northern Europe. 'As a military
