Hitler's Army
Book • 1991
Omer Bartov's 'Hitler's Army' challenges the postwar myth that the German Wehrmacht was a professional, apolitical force distinct from the Nazi regime.
Drawing on soldiers' letters, diaries, and military reports, Bartov demonstrates that the army was thoroughly indoctrinated with Nazi ideology, especially on the Eastern Front, where the majority of German troops fought.
The book argues that the Wehrmacht became 'Hitler's army' not just in name but in practice, actively participating in war crimes and atrocities, sustained by a combination of ideological fervor, harsh discipline, and the cult of the Führer.
