Hitler And His Allies in World War Two

Germany's limited economic and military power meant that relationships with her allies were crucial to the success of the Nazi regime. Hitler and His Allies in World War II casts new light on Hitler's failure to win World War II and argues that his inability to work with his allies and quasi allies contributed significantly to Germany's final defeat.Drawing on new archival material, this survey focuses on German-Ally relations, the role of lesser powers and the relationships between dictators. Each chapter looks in turn at the Soviet Union, Japan, Vichy France, Italy, Spain, Romania and Hungary, and analyses their relationships with Nazi Germany. Using a comparative approach, seven case studies examine themes such as co-operation and resistance, military and economic aid, treatment of Jews, relations with the enemies and the popular sentiment towards Germany.Offering a fascinating comparative analysis of Germany's wartime relations with her allies and the subsequent impact on the outcome of the war, this book provides a unique perspective on a much-studied subject.Adelman, Jonathan R. is the author of 'Hitler And His Allies in World War Two ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780415321686 and ISBN 0415321689.
