The best stuff I've seen on the WW2 Germans at the high command level are Robert Citino's works.
"Death of the Wehrmacht: the German campaigns of 1942"
"The Wehrmacht retreats: fighting a lost war, 1943"
"The Wehrmacht's last stand: The German campaigns of 1944-45"
How did the Germans stave off defeat for so long? and WHY did the Germans fiht for so long? are the prime questions of these books. Citino's spent a long time studying and writing about the Germans, these are well worth reading.
