This book changed my opinion of Sepp Dietrich he was a very down to earth man and solider. I feel he would have been better suited as a Division Commander. His need to be at the front and with his men was not possible as a Army or Corp commander. Any one interested in WWII or the Waffen SS should read this book. ( ) The book is a real curate’s egg – some undoubted strengths, but many worrying weaknesses. The strengths lie mainly in its detail and its brisk pace. Unlike many biographers, Charles Messenger does not waste time with trivia, but gets on with telling us what he thinks we need to know. Otherwise, the tone is mixed. Its subject is sometimes referred to by his surname, sometimes by his short first name, so that the author’s objectivity must be suspect. Worse, the editing is woefully sloppy, with lots of misprints and German words, even names, either spelled wrongly or misused. In an additional preface to this edition, Messenger says he saw no need to make any major changes since the first edition. He should have changed the editor. Worth reading nonetheless.

A charismatic yet notorious character, Sepp Dietrich the man is impossible to separate from Sepp Dietrich the General, who was awarded twenty-four different honors during his service to the Nazi party and was known for his devotion to his men as he led them through some of the fiercest fighting in the war. In this extensively researched book, historian Charles Messenger attempts to discover the truth about this sparsely documented man, painting a vivid picture of the aggressive war and politics under the Third Reich. From Dietrich's humble upbringing and his eventual rise to General, to his dissatisfaction with Hitler's leadership and the trials he faced after the war, Dietrich remains a mysterious figure in history.
