Konventioneller Krieg oder NS-Weltanschauungskrieg?

The academic book "Conventional War or NS Worldview War?" by Peter Lieb offers a comprehensive analysis of the Wehrmacht in the context of the Nazi dictatorship, particularly during the crucial years of 1943/44. It highlights the often-overlooked battles against the Western Allies and the French resistance movement, and examines the extent to which the German leadership was able to unleash a "worldview war" in the West. By evaluating extensive sources, it fills a research gap concerning the repercussions of the Eastern Front experiences on the Western Front. Lieb also investigates whether there were differences between the Wehrmacht and the Waffen-SS, and what operational scopes were available to the troops on the ground. This dissertation, which has received several awards, is a significant contribution to current discussions about the crimes of the Wehrmacht and their historical classification.
