HEROES OR TRAITORS THE GERMAN REPLACEMENT ARMY THE JULY PLOT AND ADOLF HITLER
Book Type: C By Walter Dunn. The plotters behind the Hitler assassination planned to seize control of the government using the Replacement army to overcome the SS and the Nazi Party. This army would also maintain order within Germany, a task that would require more than half a million trained men. The conspirators convinced key Replacement Army officers to withhold men from the Field Army in the spring of 1944 in preparation for taking over the country. The result was a German army that lacked enough reserve divisions to counter the invasion of France and the Red Army attack in Russia. Although the plotters failed to kill Hitler, they hastened the war's end by weakening the German Army. Dunn examines the 1944 July Plot from a manpower and logistics perspective to demonstrate that the conspirators did, in fact, achieve their goal of hastening the war's end, 224 pp. ![]() |
