FROM STALINGRAD TO ITALY, VON SENGER'S WAR: The German General Who Defied Hitler

1-249150

A Rhodes Scholar at Oxford, fluent in multiple languages, and a devoted Christian, Von Senger defied Hitler's orders and was adamantly anti-Nazi. Details how his reputation grew in Italy by safely evacuating German troops from Sicily, Sardinia, and Corsica, which was a delicate matter because the Italians had changed sides. He saved many lives from the SS, and the Italian partisans never attacked him because he had helped the helpless. He was a brilliant tactician, and his anti-Nazi views were widely known during the war years by friend and foe. Von Senger was never considered for war crimes, and was granted the rare privilege of being allowed to explore the English countryside from the Bridgend PoW camp. Contains 26 mono illustrations.
