Product Description
Warfare in the mountains--with its extremes of temperature and treacherous terrain--is unique and difficult. Hitler's Gebirgsjaeger, specially chosen troops of men who usually came from the Alpine regions, frequently succeeded in winning (or at least escaping) where others would have failed. Using anecdotes from surviving veterans, and photographs of men, landscape, and weapons, follow the troops from Poland down to Tunisia, chronicling their excellence, dedication, and esprit de corps.

2.0 out of 5 stars Hitler's Mountain Troops, June 11, 2000
By Brian Mullen (Durban, South Africa) - See all my reviews
This book gives a very detailed account of the German Army's Mountain Troops during the 2nd World War. Although well researched and very detailed the books lacks a certain amount of excitement that one would normally associate with a title such as this.

In addition topics such as selection criteria and training are not well covered which for a book on special forces is a bit disappointing.
