Book excerpt: Lieutenant-General Hans Speidel’s Invasion 1944 tells the story, from the German viewpoint, of one of the most critical periods of World War II. Indeed, to most Americans the summer months of 1944, highlighted by the battles on the Normandy beaches, represent the climax of the world convulsion. Every detail of this epic struggle is today of interest not only to those Americans who participated personally in the battles on the beaches and in the Normandy countryside, but to that still greater number who sweated and bled in Italy, on South Pacific isles, or in the Philippines, or were forced to stay at home. For the Norman beaches have now become a keystone in the arch of American military tradition—worthy to stand alongside Chancellorsville, Appomattox, Château-Thierry and the Meuse-Argonne. Our curiosity, therefore, cannot but be piqued as to what went on in the Château La Roche Guyon, the headquarters of the German Army Group opposing the Allied Normandy armies, as, day by day, American and British pressure brought Hitler’s doom nearer. Invasion is by no means merely military history, a record of the estimates and orders of the German Command during the Normandy struggle. This book tells a double story. The battles are the background, while the foreground is dominated by the narrative of another climactic struggle, that between the commander of the Army Group, Erwin Rommel, “the Desert Fox,” and his overlord Adolf Hitler. “A notable contribution to the...literature on the Normandy campaign. The author was Chief of Staff successively to Rommel, Kluge and Model.... What he has to say about the German defeat is authoritative and of high interest.”—New York Herald Tribune Book Review
