The German Army 1939–45 (5)

This is the final volume of a series of five books on the German Army of WW2.

Featuring illustrations throughout, this book covers the high command, the developments in unit organisation, the campaigns and the uniforms and equipment of the German Army in the last two years of the war in North-West Europe and Italy.

Description

Despite the huge pressure of fighting on three fronts, ever-worsening shortages of manpower and equipment, and Allied command of the skies, Germany's decimated divisions fought on with impressive skill and determination.

This period also saw a fascinating mixture of obsolescent, newly designed, and field-made combat clothing which gave the German soldier a radically different appearance from his predecessor of just five years before.

Featuring illustrations throughout, The German Army 1939–45 (5) covers the high command, the developments in unit organisation, the campaigns, and the uniforms and equipment of the German Army in the last two years of the war in North-West Europe and Italy.
