Hitler's Spies - German Military Intelligence In World War II (Paperback, 1st Da Capo Press Ed)

Filled with episodes of adventure, this work documents the entire mechanism of German intelligence and traces its handling of three of the events on which the war turned: the invasion of Russia, the landings in North America, and the D-Day assault. Using the original documents Kahn discovered in German military archives, he reveals the workings of the famed Abwehr, the dreaded SD, and the spies and intelligence gatherers of the Foreign Office, and shows the reader the inexorable failure of that network as Hitler and his high command, distrusting their own officers, disregarded their reports.
