Blitzkrieg Legend
By: Karl-Heinz Frieser
Reviewed By: Roger Cirillo
In October, AUSA will unveil among its new books at the annual meeting,
The Blitzkrieg Legend: The 1940 Campaign in the West
by German Army Colonel and historian, Dr. Karl-Heinz Frieser. This book will mark the beginning of a series of international books to be published by AUSA. Currently, five other German military history books are being translated and will appear in the future while books from other countries are also being considered.
Frieser’s book marks a change from the accepted view of Germany’s quick defeat of the French and British armies in 1940. He neither accepts the theory that faulty plans had essentially set the Allies up for defeat, nor does he accept much of the mythology of the doctrine of air-land warfare as being practiced by the Germans in 1940 which has long been standard staff college fare in NATO national staff colleges. As part of the official German histories of the Second World War, this book broke new ground in assessing German operational effectiveness, and its first time appearance in English should be welcomed by students of the Second World War as well as those studying operational art.
