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.
