The Memoirs of Field Marshal Keitel (eBook) offers an unparalleled glimpse inside Hitler's military headquarters through the eyes of Wilhelm Keitel, one of Germany's most senior officers. As Chief of the OKW (High Command of the Armed Forces), Keitel was present at every major decision of the Third Reich. In these candid memoirs-edited by historian Walter Görlitz and translated by David Irving-he recalls how the Nazi war machine was planned, commanded and ultimately defeated. In this gripping narrative Keitel recounts: • His rise from Prussian cadet to field marshal and trusted adviser to Adolf Hitler. • The planning and execution of Blitzkrieg campaigns in Poland, France and the Soviet Union. • The rivalries and personalities inside the Reich Chancellery, including Hitler, Göring, Jodl and other top commanders. • The issuing of controversial directives such as the Commissar Order and the "Night and Fog" decree. • The final, desperate months of the war and his reflections before the Nuremberg trials. David Irving enriches Keitel's memoir with explanatory footnotes and commentary that place events in their wider historical context. This carefully formatted eBook includes maps and photographs, a linked table of contents and a comprehensive index to guide your reading. For students of World War II, military history and Nazi Germany, *The Memoirs of Field Marshal Keitel* is an indispensable primary source that reveals how the German High Command thought and operated-in their own words.
