Although it has previously been argued that the campaign was a pre-emptive strike, in fact, Hitler had been planning a war of intervention against the USSR ever since he came to power in 1933. Using previously unseen sources, acclaimed military historian Rolf-Dieter MuÌller shows that Hitler and the Wehrmacht had begun to negotiate with Poland and had even considered an alliance with Japan soon after taking power. Despite the signing of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, at the declaration of war in September 1939, military engagement with the Red Army was still a very real and imminent possibility. In Enemy in the East, MuÌller takes us behind the scenes of the Wehrmacht High Command, providing a fascinating insight into a lesser known story of World War II. --Provided by publisher 600 10 $a Hitler, Adolf, $d 1889-1945 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Diplomatic history 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Campaigns $z Eastern Front 651 0 $a Germany $x Military policy 651 0 $a Germany $x Relations $z Soviet Union 651 0 $a Soviet Union $x Relations $z Germany 700 1 $a Starritt, Alexander, $e translator 941 $a 3 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305034201.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826110542.0 952 $l OCPA943 $d 20160308013149.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=32DD0EF4431311E5AE1B677DDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
