Added Infobox pic & caption
editInserted an Aril 1945 pic+caption of the Cologne devastation into the Infobox. The page looked visually bad with just a bare "Adolf Hitler" pic top-left (quite inappropriate - the article's about a book on Germany, not a book about Hitler!) I'm inclined to remove the Hitler pic altogether, but decided to let it stand until someone finds a second appropriate pic to put up instead - maybe a map, fr example. The article should really carry one or two illustrations directly from the book, and possibly the book cover too. But I don't have a copy. Pete Hobbs (talk) 13:10, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
these figures appear not mathematically possible : At the time he said this Germany was waging war on two fronts and was heavily outnumbered by both the allied forces and those of the Soviet Union. On the Eastern Front alone the Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe were outnumbered eleven-to-one in infantry, seven-to-one in armour, twenty-to-one in field artillery and twenty-to-one in airpower.[2] Or, as Kershaw writes, why did they continue the fight when Germany had been "battered into submission, its economy destroyed, its cities in ruins, the country occupied by foreign powers"?[3] An estimated 49 percent of German military losses occurred during the last 10 months of the war in Europe," because from these figures would follow that the Russians at that time had about 20 times as much soldiers as they needed to inflict the other 51% of the casualtys (let's say 4m), that is very improbable. (it would indeed have gotten hard to find very many) oh well... I guesss we will never know what really was the matter. what I think is possibly a (large) nr of civilians and civilians claimed as militias got mixed in on our side of the calculation, and that the comparison of armaments is only for the last month or so.62.163.114.47 (talk) 00:14, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
Move this article to my new article
editI recently created a new article Hitler (Kershaw books) because historian Ian Kershaw has written many books about the Nazi regime and instead of just a couple of them having separate articles, why not have just one article and have information about all of them together?--OZZY19455 (talk) 15:49, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
