This first of a three-volume set offers concise biographical information for over 5,000 generals and admirals of the Third Reich. It covers all branches of service, ordered alphabetically, and provides a brief, scholarly overview of each individual, including personal details and dates for all attachments to unit, and medals awarded, offering a readily accessible go-to reference work for all World War II researchers and historians. In addition to the biographic information, each volume includes extensive apppendices. The books are packed with information on these senior officers of the Third Reich, many of whom are little documented in the English language.
