The 23rd of November 1939. There are storm clouds over Europe. Two hundred generals are summoned by their Führer. In the space of just a year, the Wehrmacht has already conquered the Sudetenland, Czechoslovakia and Poland. But Hitler won't stop at that.

Everyone's stunned: to the German Army chiefs it sounds suicidal. But Hitler is resolute, and determined to bring his generals to heel. He didn't have any military training, he's never been an officer or commanded a battalion. But he's convinced that his instinct pulls rank on all their stripes.

Posterity has pronounced Adolf Hitler a brilliant strategist. But is that really the case?
