I cannot contribute much but will be a fascinated reader. <br /><br />A biography of Mountbatten mentioned the Averoff at Crete, but just a sentence or two as I recall.<br /><br />'Fall Blau', I think, would require a series of posts instead of just one. I hope you will report on some of Hitler's allied units during that operation, to include not only the Romanians but also Hungarians, Italians, Scandinavians, Slovaks and Croats. And how about the Volga Germans with the Brandenburgers and also the Crimean Tatars? I have not been able to find any references here in the States on those units.<br /><br />Reinhard Gehlen in his memoirs claims to have known before Fall Blau of the remaining 7.5 million men in the Soviet military despite the millions of prior Soviet casualties. But his warning went unheeded. That may (or may not) have been a self-serving attempt to build up his reputation after the war. He also claims that he predicted the time and place of the Soviet counteroffensive that shattered 3rd and 4th Romanian Armies which resulted in encirclement of the 6th Army.mikenoreply@blogger.com
