Book Description
A groundbreaking and comprehensive order of battle for German ground troops in WWII, from the invasion of Poland to the final defeat in Berlin. An indispensable reference work for Second World War scholars and enthusiasts, German Ground Forces of World War II captures the continuously changing character of Nazi ground forces throughout the conflict. For the first time, readers can follow the career of every German division, corps, army, and army group as the German armed forces shifted units to and from theaters of war. Organized by sections including Theater Commands, Army Groups, Armies, and Corps Commands, it presents a detailed analysis of each corresponding order of battle for every German field formation above division. This innovative resource also describes the orders of battle of the myriad German and Axis satellite formations assigned to security commands throughout occupied Europe and the combat zones, as well as those attached to fortress commands and to the commanders of German occupation forces across Europe. An accompanying narrative describes the career of each field formation and includes the background and experience of many of their most famous commanding officers.

Book Description
This study of the German Army is the result of many years research into the higher formations of the German Army in the Second World War. It begins by looking at the High Command itself, and includes a critique of Hitler s methods of dealing with his senior military commanders. It then examines the Army High Command and the Reserve Army. It goes on to look at the Army Groups, Armies and Corps of the German Army, and gives, in all cases, details of commanders, superior commands and subordinate formations, together with their locations throughout the war. Every command is shown in enough detail to be able to create an Order of Battle right through the war. The book also contains details of the German reserve army, and the Corps which were tasked with providing the front line replacements. There are also details of Artillery Commands, Fortress Commands, Rear Area Commands and a special section on the Waffen SS. In all the book provides a base which all serious students of the Second World War, and the German Army, can develop as they wish. No other single publication contains the wealth of information available in this publication.

Book Description
From the opening shots of World War II in Poland in September 1939, through the blitzkrieg to the fall of France and the Low Countries, the German Army was at the forefront of battle. It remained in the thick of the action - the Eastern Front, North Africa, the Balkans, Scandinavia, North West Europe - right up until the last desperate shots were fired over the ruins of a crumbling Third Reich in May 1945. As the instrument with which Hitler was to achieve his plan for world domination, the German Army was at the cutting edge of 20th-century military technology. Before the emergence of the US Army as a force to be reckoned with later in World War II, the German Army was the most powerful, efficient and well-equipped fighting force in the world.
