The German Soldier’s Pocket Manual 1914 – 1918

The German Army of World War I is considered to be one of history's greatest fighting forces. Engaged from the start in a war on two fronts against the British and French in the west, and the Russians to the east, the German Army used innovative new tactics and military units to keep their enemies at bay.
These new ideas were developed and refined throughout the war, and were influential not just to them, but also to their opponents, such as the British and Americans. Using a wide range of sources drawn from the German Army itself, and the intelligence sections of other militaries, including pamphlets and manuals produced throughout the war, this fascinating book offers a new perspective on what it was like to be a German soldier in World War I.
