Schwerpunkt: From D-Day to the Fall of the Third Reich

The world has been at war for 5 years and it looks like the Nazis are winning. The defeat of the German Army is the single most important task facing what's left of the free world. Schwerpunkt, the German word for critical striking point, tells the story of the D-Day Invasion and the battles leading to the final destruction of Hitler's Third Reich. Frank Greathouse, his infantryman brother Harold, and his paratrooper cousin Paul, write from the Allied perspective about the battles fought throughout France until the breach of Germany's impregnable Siegfried Line and the end of the war. Rudi Katzenmeier works for Field Marshal Erwin Rommel until General Rommel is eventually implicated in the plot to assassinate Hitler and is forced to commit suicide. Transferred to the German Infantry as a "Landser," Rudi writes of these same battles from the German perspective. This work of historical fiction provides an engaging and historically accurate portrayal of the last year of World War II. Little known but true stories of famous generals, both Allied and German, are brought to life in this must read book about the final year of Hitler's Thousand Year Reich.
