Product Description
Lucas takes an overall look at das Heer, or the German Army, as it evolved during World War II. In particular, Lucas concentrates on the origins of the German Army in the post-Versailles-Treaty era and its resurgence under the Nazi regime; training and organization during the war years; equipment, vehicles, and weapons; and uniforms, ranks, and insignia. The author also describes the parts played by the Waffen-SS and the airborne arm of the service, the Fallschirmjager. This is truly an authoritative, comprehensive account of a highly effective army.
