The Wehrmacht’s Master Strategist, The Man Who Planned Hitler’s Greatest Victory… and Was Fired For It
His Allied adversaries called him the most brilliant and dangerous strategist in the entire German Army. The Soviets feared him above all others. So why, at the most critical juncture of the war, was Field Marshal Erich von Manstein dismissed by Hitler?
From his audacious ‘Sickle Cut’ plan that conquered France in weeks, to the legendary ‘backhand blow’ that shattered the Red Army at Kharkov, his genius was undeniable. But his constant demand for strategic freedom and his open defiance of Hitler’s disastrous ‘stand-fast’ orders led to a collision course with the Führer.
Uncover the story of the master tactician whose intellectual courage became a threat to Hitler himself. Learn how his dismissal sealed Germany’s fate on the Eastern Front, and how, after the war, he crafted a powerful legacy with his famous memoir, “Lost Victories.”
