He has much to say on the subject of Hitler as a military leader and on some of Hitler's disastrous decisions. Verlorene Siege (English: Lost Victories is the personal narrative of Erich von Manstein, a German field marshal during World War II. The book was first published in West Germany in 1955, and its English translation was published in 1958 for distribution in the UK and the US. Manstein presents his own experiences, ideas and decisions as they appeared to him during the 1930s and 1940s. He wrote as one who played an active part in the story he was relating. Discussing the 1939 invasion of Poland, Manstein alleged Poland's lack of military leadership. Manstein, who commanded the south German sector forces in 1943, complained that Operation Citadel (the offensive against Kursk) was delayed too long for the German force to break through. He also wrote that Hitler halted the attack prematurely, a decision he called "tantamount to throwing away a victory". According to Manstein, Hitler (whom he praises and criticizes,) did not allow the detailed planning of large-scale military operations. Manstein wrote that in 1943, a draw could have been achieved on the Eastern Front by bleeding the Red Army dry if the generals had been allowed to operate properly. More
