The enactment of the German extermination policies that resulted in the murder of six million European Jews depended upon many factors; including the cooperation of local authorities and police departments; and the passivity of the populations; primarily of their political and spiritual elites. Necessary also was the victims' willingness to submit; often with the hope of surviving long enough to escape the German vise. The Years of Extermination; the completion of Saul Friedländer's major historical opus on Nazi Germany and the Jews; explores the convergence of the various aspects of this most systematic and sustained of modern genocides. In this unparalleled work—based on a vast array of documents and an overwhelming choir of voices from diaries; letters; and memoirs—the history of the Holocaust has found its definitive representation.

I've begun to see that Rommel's skills as a general were perhaps over-played to help make the Brits look better. Not that he was insignificant; just not all that compared to others who fought in more difficult theaters; like Russia; and who we simply better and more well-rounded generals. There is more to leadership than leading from the front.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
