This fact has obscured skillful use of tactics employed by the German soldiers at the divisional level and below.\n\nUntil now, this information has been sequestered in manuscript reports in various archives. In German Battle Tactics on the Eastern Front, 1941–1945, Steven H. Newton has retrieved, retranslated, and annotated the detailed tactical accounts of combat in Russia that German officers provided their American captors after the war.\n\nIn this collection of ten essays, the Chief of Staff of the XXXXI Panzer Corps describes the final furious dash toward Moscow. One of the commanders of the relief force narrates the rescue of the troops trapped in the Demyansk pocket. A corps commander on Manstein's right flank at Kursk analyzes the tactical failures of the battle.\n\nAnd, in one of the more controversial documents in the early cold war, the last commander of Army Group South recalls his futile attempt to interest General Patton in assisting in the war against the Soviets.\n\nA wide variety of tactical situations--from winter warfare to desperate infantry defenses, and unit types--from panzer divisions to cavalry brigades--are covered in this collection.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0887405827\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0887405827.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Newton, Steven\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
