Ebook: Operation Barbarossa 2nd Panzergruppe in Russia June 21 1941

Overview: Directive No. 32 Preparations for the period after 'Barbarossa'. After the destruction of the Soviet Armed Forces, Germany and Italy will be military masters of the European Continent - with the temporary exception of the Iberian Peninsula. No serious threat to Europe by land will then remain. The defence of this area, and foreseeable future offensive action, will require considerably smaller military forces than have been needed hitherto.
