Description:An exploration of German World War II small-scale military strategy, edited by the former chief historian of the U.S. Marines.While small wars are not new, how they should be fought by a modern industrial nation is still very much a matter for debate. It is thus worth paying heed now to the experiences of another power which once encountered the same problems. This pocket manual examines German analysis of the problem, covering experiences from the Napoleonic era to the Third Reich, based upon the historical analysis, Kleinkrieg, provided to the German High Command by Arthur Ehrhardt in 1935 (republished in 1942 and 1944), and the Bandenbekampfung (Fighting the Guerrilla Bands) document provided to Germany's OKW in 1944. In both, conditions that were specific to broader military operations were separated from circumstances in occupation campaigns, and the new background in the German experience in suppressing rebellion during the Second World War is presented.Avoiding ideological biases, this manual examines the purely military problem as seen by professionals. Rediscovered and presented in English, these German thoughts on how best to fight small wars have been edited and annotated by Charles D. Melson, former chief historian for the U.S. Marine Corps."The German attitude to guerrilla war was far more complex than stereotypical brutality for the sake of brutality." --Stephen G. Fritz, PhD, author of Ostkrieg"A highly accessible introduction to an important, but frequently neglected, aspect of German military history as well for those interested in guerrilla warfare." --Bruce I. Gudmundsson, PhD, U.S. Marine Corps University, author of On ArtilleryWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
