Smashing Hitler's Panzers: The Defeat of the Hitler Youth Panzer Division in the Battle of the Bulge
De (autor): Steven J. Zaloga
In this riveting book, Steven Zaloga describes how American foot soldiers faced down Hitler's elite armored spearhead--the Hitler Youth Panzer Division--in the snowy Ardennes forest during one of World War II's biggest battles, the Battle of the Bulge. The Hitler Youth division was assigned one of the most important missions of Hitler's Ardennes offensive: the capture of the main highway to the primary objective of Antwerp, the seizure of which Hitler believed would end the war. Had the Germans taken the Belgian port, it would have cut off the Americans from the British and perhaps led to a second, more devastating Dunkirk. In Zaloga's careful reconstruction, a succession of American infantry units--the 99th Division, the 2nd Division, and the 1st Division (the famous Big Red One)--fought a series of battles that denied Hitler the best roads to Antwerp and doomed his offensive. American GIs--some of them seeing combat for the very first time--had stymied Hitler's panzers and grand plans.

Decembrie 1944 - utlimul mare asalt German si esecul acestuie descris in detaliu si cu explicatiile de rigoare de catre Steven J. Zaloga.
Carte se concentreaza asupra actiunilor care au dus la infrangere - si asta mai ales din perspectiva activitatilor si opratiunilor diviziei 12 SS Panzer "Hitlejugend".
Actiunile din decembrie 1944 - care au durat putin peste 1 saptamana - partea in care germanii au atacat - sunt descrise de autor cu detaliile semnificative legate de lipsa ofiterilor cu experienta (divizia fiind decimata in cursul luptelor din vara anului 1944 dupa debarcarea aliatilor in Normandia) intr-o divizie reconstruita, lipsa armamentului in cantitati suficiente, actiunile sau lipsa acestora asociate cu apararea incapatanata a fortelor americane din zona de operatiuni. Toate acestea , sustinute de o documentare minutioasa aduaga o perspectiva interesanta asupra evenimentelor din acel decembrie '44.
Este o carte foarte buna, foarte bine scrisa, care pune accent deosebit pe metodele de comanda, perspectiva liderilor sau lipsa acesteia , eroism individual si nu in ultimul rand impactul actiunilor asupra vietii civililor belgieni prinsi intre taberele beligerante.
Recomand , chiar si celor care nu sunt pasionati de istorie.
