This third volume of a successful mini-series examines the German Infantryman in the latter part of World War II.Despite being constantly in retreat, often short of equipment, sometimes hungry, cold and wet, and the overwhelming numbers of Soviet troops and armour facing him, the German Infantryman’s resistance was always fierce, and although constantly moving back towards Germany, his defensive withdrawals cost the Russians dearly. During this period defensive tactics involved close artillery and tank cooperation, even at small unit level.Containing previously unpublished photographs and poignant first hand accounts, this book explores in superb detail daily life, duties and combat action.

A chilling and modern embodiment of the loss of innocence, the Hitler Youth movement transformed German children into adult Nazis entirely focused on Allied defeat.Despite not being itself a military formation - rather a movement that sought to inculcate Nazi ideology - paramilitary training did however form an important part of this education due to the Nazi veneration of the soldier as the epitome of Germanic manhood. Some members of the Bund Deutscher Mädel, the Hitler Youth organization for girls, even became combatants in the final stages of the war.Covering the range of a child's indoctrination, from ideology to training, this rare exploration of the Nazi culture provides complete insight into the preliminary training of Germany's youth, and how they became directly involved in military service under the pressure of total war.
