	Standing Fast: German defensive doctrine on the Russian front during world war II
		German antitank measures followed the 1918 outlines: enemy tanks would have their accompanying infantry stripped away; their advance would be obstructed by mines and obstacles; and a mixture of direct-fire artillery, antitank gunfire, and individual close assault would destroy those tanks that actually penetrated the German defensive positions.
		Field Marshal Erich von Manstein, when describing his experiences as a panzer corps commander in Russia during the summer of 1941, observed that "the security of a tank formation operating in the enemy's rear largely [depended] on its ability to keep moving.
		Field Marshal von Bock discerned the threat that these attacks posed to Army Group Center, Bock had no desire to see his units ground up piecemeal in battles of attrition and preferred instead to resume the fluid battles of maneuver that had earlier characterized the campaign.

	Counteroffensive in the Ardennes
		The German counteroffensive through the Ardennes in the winter of 1944, the Battle of the Bulge, will long be recalled in American military annals as having inflicted on the U.S. 12th Army Group the first and only serious reverse it suffered in its sweep from Normandy to the Rhine.

		This absorbing look at Hitler's twenty-five field marshals documents the rise and fall of the officers who held the highest rank in the powerful war machine that nearly conquered the world for the Third Reich.
		What I find most interesting about this piece of work is that by presenting one short biography after the other Mitcham shows the relevance of one field marshal to the other.
		In other words, Mr Mitcham draws lines which connect all these field marshals together and helps us understand all the combined military acheivements and also all the intrigues and jealousies which prevailed amongst these top military commanders of the Third Reich.

	GERMAN MILITARY, POLITICAL & CULTURAL HISTORY IN COLOR
		German soldiers quickly became acquainted with the less attractive side of the war in the East too: “highways” that were little more than mud pits and murderously cold winter weather.
		Written from the German point of view by an unnamed German officer expressly for the US Army in the late 40’s (the brief description of the unknown author’s career in the preface indicates that it is probably none other than the famous panzer commander General Hasso von Manteuffel himself).
		This is THE comprehensive study of the German Bayonet as it developed from 1871 to 1945, starting with the “Hirschfänger” used on the Sharpshooters’ rifle of the Kingdom of Württemberg (the M1843) to the Seitengewehre of Prussia, Saxony, Bavaria and the other German States.
