GERMAN SQUAD TACTICS IN WORLD WAR II

The first portion of this unusual work is a detailed review of German squad level infantry tactics using German regulations and American studies. It is highly illustrated, and provides tactical exercises to illustrate points. The second portion is a translation of Panzer-grenadier tactics and reviews both mounted and dismounted tactics. Diagrams show the proper deployment both of dismounted infantry and half-tracks in combat. The last portion of the Panzer-grenadier section even provides illustrations and explanations of hand signals used for communicating between half-tracks. The final portion of this work is a series of highly detailed Tables of Organisation and Equipment listings of various German infantry companies from 1943 through to 1945, including Panzer-grenadier companies, grenadier companies, bicycle companies and ski-Jager companies.
