German Army Handbook 1939-1945
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
From the opening shots of World War II in Poland in September 1939, through the blitzkrieg to the fall of France and the Low Countries, the German Army was at the forefront of battle. It remained in the thick of the action right up until the last desperate shots were fired over the ruins of a crumbling Third Reich in May 1945. The German Army was at the cutting edge of 20th-century military technology. Before the emergence of the US Army as a force to be reckoned with later in World War II, the German Army was the most powerful, efficient and well-equipped fighting force in the world. This text takes a look at the German Army, as it origins in the post-Versailles Treaty era and its resurgence under the Nazi regime; training and organization during the war years; equipment, vehicles and weapons; uniforms, rank and insignia.
