This article is part historical essay, part book review. Sorry about the screwball format, I couldn't get it out of Adobe and into Word without keeping the magazine format, so the paragraph alignment is all over the place. Contact me if you would like to receive the original Adobe file, which also has several graphics inserted.
Of note: I make no endorsement of the author or the magazine that it's from. I simply post it for your reading pleasure.

If its by Citino I've got his book of the same name and the follow up "Death of the Wehrmacht" which is the better of the two. i like his analysis of operations but if I had to criticise i'd say that he assumes just because he bothered to read through the entire back issues of the german general Staff magazine he has some sort of insight into the mindset of the german officer class.
Bit like gaining insight into the motivation of Microsofts management by reading their internal magazine....
