FOREIGN MILITARY STUDIES

History is replete with examples of notable military campaigns and exceptional military leaders and theorists. Military professionals and students of the art and science of war cannot afford to ignore these sources of knowledge or limit their studies to the history of the U.S. armed forces. This series features original works, translations, and reprints of classics outside the American canon that promote a deeper understanding of international military theory and practice.

Translators Note

For his invaluable help with military historical and operational insights, I wish to thank my husband, Colonel (ret.) Clinton J. Ancker III, former assistant professor of military history at West Point and present director of the Combined Arms Doctrine Directorate, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Thanks also to the librarians at Combined Arms Research Library (CARL) at Fort Leavenworth; to Colonel Carsten Treder, the German liaison officer at Fort Leavenworth, for his ongoing help and support; and above all, thanks to Roger Cirillo for the opportunity to translate this book for the AUSA Book Program.

For the most part, German terms used in the text are defined in the endnotes. Some terms that may be familiar to readers are left in German and translated in parentheses within the text at their first use; in a few instances, an explanation of the term is included in the text between commas. In each case, the translators decision was based on the relative importance of the term or the readability factor. The terms Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe, and Kriegsmarine are typically not translated or italicized in military historical writings, and this work follows that practice; the more unfamiliar Heer is translated as army when it refers specifically to Germanys army. The term Fhrer is used to refer to Hitler, but in contrast to the original text, the quotation marks have been omitted. Certain German terms such as blitzkreig that have been adopted in English are not italicized; other terms such as Schwerpunkt and Auftragstaktik are defined in the notes but remain in German in the text.

German unit designations containing the word Panzer are left in the original form; however, lowercase panzer is used to refer only to German tanks. Ranks of German officers are left in the original Germanfor example, Feldmarschall, Generalleutnant. Names of German organizations are mostly given in English and translated in the notes.

In the original, the author sometimes used quotation marks around certain phrases but provided no specific citations for them. The translator used some discretion in this case and, where it seemed appropriate, omitted the quotation marks for the sake of readability. Insertions by the translator for clarification or in the case of unclear references in the original text are placed in brackets. In a few places, this was done without brackets as a silent correction.

In German writing, the von is sometimes omitted from names such as von Manstein, as it is here. For consistency, NSDAP (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei) is always rendered as Nazi Party (or simply the party) in this translation.
