Hitler's War in the East, 1941−1945: A Critical Assessment is a 1997 book by the German historians Rolf-Dieter Müller and Gerd R. Ueberschär.

Writing in the introduction to the 2002 edition, Gerhard Weinberg describes the book as providing a broad coverage of the conflict, by "stressing ideological and political as well as more specifically military aspects".

The authors also provide coverage of publications by British and American historians, while noting some Soviet and East German works, which they treat with caution.

One reviewer was "particularly impressed by Müller and Ueberschar's thorough treatment of the Holocaust and the German occupation of the Soviet Union" and the ensuing historiographical controversies.

[1] Dennis Showalter, in a review of the third (2009) edition for The Journal of Slavic Military Studies describes the book as "the standard reference in the field" since its publication.
