By 1943, the war was lost, and most German officers knew it. Three quarters of a century later, the question persists: What kept the German army going in an increasingly hopeless situation? Where some historians have found explanations in the power of Hitler or the role of ideology, Robert M. Citino, the world's leading scholar on the subject, posits a more straightforward solution: Bewegungskrieg, the way of war cultivated by the Germans over the course of history. In this gripping account of German military campaigns during the final phase of World War II, Citino charts the inevitable path by which Bewegungskrieg, or a "war of movement," inexorably led to Nazi Germany's defeat.

The Wehrmacht's Last Stand analyzes the German Totenritt, or "death ride," from January 1944--with simultaneous Allied offensives at Anzio and Ukraine--until May 1945, the collapse of the Wehrmacht in the field, and the Soviet storming of Berlin. In clear and compelling prose, and bringing extensive reading of the German-language literature to bear, Citino focuses on the German view of these campaigns. Often very different from the Allied perspective, this approach allows for a more nuanced and far-reaching understanding of the last battles of the Wehrmacht than any now available. With Citino's previous volumes, Death of the Wehrmacht and The Wehrmacht Retreats, The Wehrmacht's Last Stand completes a uniquely comprehensive picture of the German army's strategy, operations, and performance against the Allies in World War II.

Toy is strong enough for a Rottweiler.
This is one of my dog’s favorite toys. He is a Rottweiler so I have to get him strong, sturdy toys. He hasn’t broken it yet!

Will buy again
Perfect tug toy. My big guy is an aggressive chewer with some strong jaws. I'm extremely impressed that its lasted as long as it has. He loves to play with it, tug on it, chew on it. Exactly what I had hoped for.

Decent product. Fun for dogs
Size: Dog Rope Toy - M
My dogs loved this toy so much that they ripped it just after a month use. So durability may be lacking a bit but my dogs loved it. The price can be less since it doesn’t last that long, it’s lightweight so it’s easy to throw, and super fun for dogs.

Fun tug toy that holds up well
Size: Dog Rope Toy - M
We got this rope tug toy for our dog and it’s been a hit. He loves playing tug of war and will happily drag this around the house looking for someone to play with. The rope is thick and feels like real cotton, not that super cheap stiff stuff. It has some give to it but still feels sturdy. So far it has held up well to lots of chewing and tugging. Our dog isn’t a hardcore destroyer, but he definitely tests his toys, and this one is still in one piece. It’s also a nice size, not tiny, so it works well for medium and bigger dogs, but a smaller dog could still enjoy it. Overall, it’s a simple toy that does what you want it to do. Keeps the dog busy, gives them something safe to chew on, and holds up better than most rope toys we’ve tried.
