Seen them...and yes (within the liitations of "memoirs") these add volumes to the record. The thing with doco's like this is that they give an enhanced understanding as to the
scale of the Eastern conflict to those folks who are more "casual" in their studies.
As I said upthread...when the "political collapse" didn't occur, the Germans were up the creek. The next three and a half years were little more than a (bloody) denoument.
Again to pump this book (for those who haven't read the thread in it's entirety):
"The Wages of Destruction: The Making and Breaking of the Nazi War Economy"; Adam Tooze, 2006.
Think
you know something about WWII?
Read this book;
prepare to be educated.
It is literally the
most ground breaking research on the conflict to date...
