About this ebook
A pictorial history of the Nazi military's elite Gebirgstruppen during World War II.
Fifteen elite mountain divisions and a multitude of small units fought for the Wehrmacht during World War II. They fought on all fronts, operating in hostile environments ranging from the far north to Libya, the Atlantic to the Caucasus—serving in all the "hot spots." This book, the culmination of some four decades of research and the support of many veterans and collectors, describes the life, operations and equipment of these specialist units.
"A very illuminating study on some of WWII Germany's finest combat troops in their most successful actions of the early war period." — AMPS
"Supported by a great collection of colour and monochrome photographs - one with the men wearing patterned tablecloths to stave off the cold in Norway is my favourite. . . . It will appeal to readers interested in the German army in the early phases of World War II." — Wargames Illustrated
