The common German infantryman played a crucial role in the events that led to the outbreak of World War II (1939-1945); and the burden of duty lay on his shoulders during the opening moves of the conflict; in the invasion of Poland; the conquest of Norway and Denmark; the Low Countries and France. The Wehrmacht was unstoppable in this period; as it defeated almost every country that took the field against it. This volume examines the recruitment; training; weapons and equipment of the German infantryman in the eventful years building up to and including Blitzkrieg. Weaponry; team roles; tactics; training and personal equipment are all covered.
