This book is a profound reexamination of the role of the German army, the Wehrmacht, in World War II. Until recently, the standard story avowed that the ordinary German soldier in World War II was a good soldier and not an accomplice to massacres of civilians. Wette explodes this myth of a "clean" Wehrmacht with devastating clarity.
