Actions Of Small Units During The Russian Campaign 1941-45. 51 maps. This publication was prepared by a number of German officers after the end of World War II. There were a number of these publications, many of which are in publication in the German Report Series by Naval and Military Press. They are all of significant importance in understanding the way in which the war was fought, particularly on the eastern front. This particular publication is perhaps the best known of all the German Report Series, and deals with combat at battalion, company, platoon and even individual level. It is full of small actions that are not reported anywhere else, and the whole book is well illustrated with a series of maps showing the situation of the units and the actions described in such detail. The book starts with a look at the Russian soldier and how the Germans learned to adapt to warfare in Russia. It then looks at operations by infantry, tanks and field engineers, and there are many extremely interesting operations described. Special operations are also included, and a number of ‘behind the lines’ operations receive treatment. It also deals with fighting in the various topographies and vegetation zones of Russia, as well as the differences between the summer, mud and snow periods. This is a fundamental book for anyone looking at German warfare in the Russian campaign, and the way in which so much had to be altered, relearned or improvised by the German forces in this deadly campaign” -N&M Print edition.

Book excerpt: The preceding observations give an indication of the problems involved in preparing the German field forces for an encounter with an opponent whose pattern of behavior and thinking was so fundamentally different from their own that it was often beyond comprehension. Moreover, the peculiarities of the Russian theater were such that German unit commanders were faced with situations for which there seemed to be no solution. The unorthodox Russian tactics with which the Germans were not familiar were equally disturbing, and Russian deception and trickery caused many German casualties. Several months of acclimatization were often necessary before a unit transferred to Russia was equal to the demands of the new theater. Occasionally a combat efficient unit without previous experience in Russia failed completely or suffered heavy losses in accomplishing a difficult mission that presented no problems to another unit familiar with the Russian theater, even though the latter had been depleted by previous engagements. This fact alone proved how necessary it was to disseminate the lessons learned in Russia, since this was the only method by which inexperienced troops could be spared the reverses and heavy casualties they would otherwise suffer during their commitment against Russian troops. To meet this need for training literature, a series of pamphlets and instructions based on German combat experiences in Russia was issued in 1943-44.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fully illustrated with maps, photographs and contemporary illustrations, this authoritative and informative book describes the different phases of the German campaign in Russia from the lightning Blitzkrieg to headlong retreat. The influence of terrain, climatic and weather conditions effected operations, and tested the strengths and weaknesses of the officers and men who fought on the Russian front. These personal narratives describe the Russian soldier, his equipment and his combat methods under a variety of circumstances and conditions as seen by the German fighting patrols, and include in-depth reports on tank battles, partisan warfare, combat in the Taiga and fighting across the frozen tundra. The desperate conditions of fighting men encircled by the enemy, suffering a lack of equipment and ammunition, and loss of officers, show the mettle of the German soldier at the smallest unit level. All the actions within this book are based on German source material and are fascinating reading to anyone interested in combat on the Eastern Front.
