* Comprehensive examination of all German infantry units * A monumental study of the organization of the German Wehrmacht
The infantryman was the backbone of the German Wehrmacht in World War II and the difference between success and failure was often decided by the common foot soldier. In this authoritative study, George Nafziger examines unit structures from divisional to company level. Based on extensive research into primary Allied and Axis documents and sources, this valuable reference work is a comprehensive directory to a key element of the Wehrmacht and of the German military machine.
The German Order of Battle: Infantry in World War II identifies each infantry unit operating between 1939 and 1945, and details the organization and precise composition of the formation.
