LAST LAURELS. THE GERMAN DEFENCE OF UPPER SILESIA, JANUARY-MAY 1945

Author: Gunter, G.

http://www.helion.co.uk/product.php?...9&xSec=1601119

claims that Germans did not have the men to occupy the defence system which consisted of several belts of defence systems from Poland to the river Oder. Actually the author goes as far as saying that the Russians " had only the ice of the river Oder to fear..."

Actually Hitlerīs logic seems rather weak here : sending men to the western front ( Ardennes ) and Hungary instead of putting them in front of Berlin...The main strike by Red army to the Czech and not Berlin?? No wonder Guderian was quite p****d off.
