## Description

Merriam Press Military Monograph No. 25 Fifth Edition 2012 Provides an interesting view of German as well as enemy operations, tactics, strategies, equipment, weapons, and more, through an interview with a little-known but highly capable panzer general of the Wehrmacht, who saw considerable service in Europe and the Eastern Front during the war. Includes a brief biographical sketch of General Balck. 13 photos

Review: Good Read - Enjoyable read, plenty of insight and opinions, with some acerbic wit. Good pick-up if you have an interest in German commanders of WWII. I'd rate it a bit above many of the German memoirs in terms of candor and interest, even though this is just a long interview. Balck's full memoirs have just been published in English for the first time, looking forward to reading that based on this. The author is probably best known for his conduct of the Chir River battles during Stalingrad, but saw action on nearly every front at one time or another.
Review: A Teaser of What We Are Missing - Great but much too short read. The greatest missing account of WWII is an English translation of General Balck's memoirs (that and continuing access to Russian archives -- tightly controlled again by the Putin-Medvedev governments after a short honeymoon in the 90s). This pamphlet is a teaser of the General's pithy, 'no time for idiots and failures' approach to warfare and the German High Command of WWII. Excellent, scathing reviews of some personalities -- even Guderian -- obviously admired by Balck -- gets an unvarnished review. A must read -- until someone ponies up to translate the full memoirs.

Short but interesting interview with this guy. A bit chopped up but still worth the time.
