Picked up an very interesting read on the WWII German Army called
"Enduring the Whirlwind, The German Army and the Russo-German War 1941-1943" by Gregory Liedtke.
Its an overview of the German rearmament starting in 1919, through the Nazi assumption of power and breaks down the overall costs and quantities of the build-up to war.
Also of interest is the breakdown of personnel and combat losses.
Its a dry read, but very interesting to any student of of the war!
