Churchill's German Army: Wartime Strategy and Cold War Politics, 1943-1947 (1977) By Arthur L. Smith Jr.
 
This book reveals entirely new dimensions of the origins of the cold war during the period 1943-1947. As Smith demonstrates, one of the primary causes of the cold war is the record of enmity and disagreement between Great Britain and the soviet union - an enmity that can be traced back to 1917, and which reached crisis proportions in 1943 when it became evident that Russia would emerge as a major European power. Smith's major finding, around which the bulk of his discussion is centered, is that Churchill broke the allied agreement to accept only simultaneous and unconditional german surrender and that the British not only allowed german armies which should have surrendered to the Russians into their zone, but permitted nazi authorities to function weeks after the war was over. Furthermore, the British keep a sizeable portion of the German forces in german military units long after the war was over.
