This is the first Pocket Manual to be dedicated to the German Army in
World War I, with chapters comprising of complete documents or extracts
drawn from two major sources: the German Army of 1914-1918 itself, or
the intelligence sections of other armies.
It describes the new tactics and units developed by the German army
during the war, including the myths surrounding Stormtrooper units.
These new methods used came about due to interaction between the
opposing forces and tended to be incremental in their appearance.
Nevertheless the new ideas were hugely influential and important not
only to the German army but to others as well, including the British and
American forces.
Utilizing a wide range of sources, including various pamphlets and
manuals that were produced throughout World War I, this fascinating
pocket manual gives a German perspective to World War I.
