War Comes to Aachen (2024)by Philip W. Blood

War Comes to Aachen: The Nazis, Churchill and the 'Stalingrad of the West' Kindle Edition
(2024)by Philip W. Blood

This book narrates the tumultuous era of total war through the fate of Aachen--Imperial Germany's seat of power for 600 years, site of Charlemagne's coronation as Holy Roman Emperor, and a place with greater geopolitical significance for Adolf Hitler in 1944 than Stalingrad in 1943.

This was a stark contrast with the events of the Great War: in 1918, the Imperial German Army had abandoned Aachen in a rout-like flight. In the Nazi period, however, Aachen became a major symbol of Germany's defiance against the Allies. For Hit-ler--his mind warped after surviving the Stauffenberg bomb plot--Germany's westernmost city became pivotal in his last-ditch defence of the 'thousand-year Reich'.
