Summary/Abstract |
FOR MANY REASONS, the wars are no longer what they were in the times of Carl von Clausewitz; the so-called total war, its concept and its practice, has become obsolete. In the past, the warring sides aimed at the total destruction of the enemy's manpower along the fronts and the manpower reserves in the rear; not infrequently, civilian population was also destroyed as a deterrent. Hitler was an adept in total war in its absolute form.
