Book Description
Muth examines the different paths the United States Army and the German Armed Forces traveled to select, educate, and promote their officers in the crucial time before World War II. He demonstrates that the military education system in Germany represented an organized effort where each school provided the stepping stone for the next. But in the US, there existed no communication about teaching contents among the various schools.

Book Description
What did the British or American soldier know about the German Army? Was this knowledge accurate - and just how did he know it? There have been several 'handbooks' of Second World War armies, but they never tell us exactly what the Allied soldier knew at the time, or how he was informed. This is of importance because it influenced both conduct on the battlefield, and the way in which the soldier thought about his enemy. The book explains the background history of the organisations involved, followed by short chapters based around a series of original documents. This puts the original into context and also discusses whether the document that follows was correct in the picture it painted, and what can be deduced about sources and the concerns of the intelligence officers who compiled the material. Most of the documents were produced at the time, by the British War Office or US War Department, and cover different aspects of the German Army, including tactics, weapons, and uniforms. Subjects include: Allied intelligence on the German Army from 1930 onwards, British SIS / MI6 and US Military Intelligence. The organisations responsible, how they worked, and how they changed very rapidly with the coming of war. The role of technology, modern – like the radio transmitter, ancient – as in scouring libraries and periodicals, reports on military manoeuvres and parades. Limitations of 'Ultra' The German army itself, from the tiny force left after Versailles, to the rapid expansion in the late 1930s. Innovation in tanks, tactics, machine guns, rocket weaponry. The problems of gathering intelligence, not just danger, but finance, asking the right questions and the limitations of reporting and distribution.

Book Description
This pamphlet was issued in August 1943 to all regimental officers of the British Army expected to have contact with German forces. It is the result of many contacts with the German army, together with some Ultra information, although this is of course not stated. It looks at the organisation of the German Infantry Regiment from section level upwards, showing the organisation of the infantry section, infantry platoon, rifle company, machine gun company. It then looks at the infantry battalion, infantry regiment, and the support included at regimental level: the infantry gun company and the infantry anti-tank company. The pamphlet then examines the German infantry division. The next section deals with the organisation of the German Armoured Division, and this is shown in the same detail as the infantry component: from troop of tanks up to tank regiment. Complementing this is the same treatment of a Panzer Grenadier regiment. The pamphlet then looks at German tactics in the attack, and co-operation between infantry and armour, defensive tactics and the German withdrawal. There are also tables of German military symbols with an explanation, and an important tabular layout of weapons, including small arms and grenades, artillery and anti-tank guns and heavy smoke mortars and projectiles. The whole pamphlet is illustrated with organisation charts and tactical maps.
