Book • 1955
In 'Lost Victories,' Erich von Manstein provides a detailed personal narrative of his military career during World War II. The book covers his roles in the invasion of Poland, the Western campaign, and extensively on the Eastern Front.
Manstein critiques Hitler's leadership and strategic decisions, while also discussing his own military strategies and the challenges faced by the German army.
The memoir avoids political and ethical contexts of the war, focusing primarily on military operations and tactics.
Historians have criticized the book for its self-serving nature and Manstein's omission of his involvement in war crimes and the Holocaust.
