How to undertake successful counteroffensive operations, with combat
examples from battles on the Eastern Front in World War II.
"Die Wehrmacht im Kampf" Battles and Problems of the Second World War
is a series originally edited by Hermann Teske and published in German
in the 1950s and 1960s. Written by former members of the German Army in
World War II, it provides valuable and historically significant
information on the perspective of the German Army of many crucial
campaigns and battles. Now being published in English for the first
time, each volume has a modern introduction by Matthias Strohn, a
lecturer at Sandhurst and The University of Buckingham and an expert on
the German Army.
This volume in the Die Wehrmacht im Kampf series examines the
principles of mobile defensive operations by analyzing examples of
defensive combat that took place on the Eastern Front during the Second
World War. It is written by Ferdinand Maria von Senger und Etterlin, a
German officer in the panzer troops who fought in several defensive
battles against the Russians.
