Why Did the German Army Fight to the End?

A discussion with Dr. Robert Citino, author of "The Wehrmacht's Last Stand"
Tuesday, March 6, 2018 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm
CSIS Headquarters
Why did the German army continue to fight the Allies even in the face of certain defeat? Following the Battle of Stalingrad and defeats on other fronts in 1943, the tide had turned against the German war machine – and most German officers knew it. The Wehrmacht’s Last Stand chronicles the final campaigns of WWII in Europe from January 1944 until the Wehrmacht’s ultimate collapse and the storming of Berlin by the Red Army in May 1945. Join us as Dr. Citino traces the “death ride” of the German army and explains why millions of men kept fighting in the face of increasingly hopeless odds.
