Features: The three most famous German documents in World War II history. A perfect embodiment of the operational philosophy of "Desert Fox." They swept across Europe, shaking the entire world, and were all worthy of the title " stratéges"; yet they were all defeated, ultimately becoming "war criminals"; but their military thought was valued by the military experts of the winning countries. They are—Heinz Guderian, the "" (Lightning Hero) and "Father of German Armor," Erwin Rommel, the "Desert Fox" who dominated North Africa, and Erich von Manstein, the "" (Strategic Genius) whose "Manstein Plan" is immortalized in military history. Reading their operational memoirs is like sitting in their command vehicle, watching them maneuver across the battlefield, experiencing the thrill of rapid pursuit. Watching them describe their strategic disagreements with Hitler and other Nazi leaders, every time close to victory, yet ultimately failing due to the "personal command" of the supreme commander—whether it's sighing in frustration for them or secretly rejoicing for the world escaping disaster? Studying the enemy is the prerequisite for defeating the enemy. It is hoped that some of the military insights elaborated in this book can sharpen the just sword in the hands of those who love peace!
