Lost Victories (Verlorene Siege), the memoir of German Field Marshal Erich von Manstein, offers a detailed and controversial account of German military operations during World War II from the perspective of one of the Wehrmacht’s most prominent strategists. First published in 1955, the book is notable for its emphasis on operational history, particularly Manstein’s role in campaigns such as the invasions of France and the Soviet Union, while largely omitting the broader political and moral context of the Nazi regime. Manstein presents himself as an apolitical professional soldier, distancing the Wehrmacht from the crimes of the Third Reich—a portrayal that has sparked significant debate among historians.
