Series: Die Wehrmacht im Kampf

"This book discusses a number of raids undertaken by XXXXVII Panzer Corps near the Black Sea in 1941/2 to explore the tactics used and why they were successful, based upon the detailed combat reports prepared by the corps staff immediately after each battle. ""Die Wehrmacht im Kampf"" Battles and Problems of the Second World War is a series published in Germany in the 1950s and 1960s. Written by ex-members of the German army in WWII, it provides important information not available elsewhere on the German army's perspective of many crucial campaigns and battles. None of the volumes have previously been available in English. Each volume has a modern introduction by Professor Matthias Strohn, expert on the German army.

He holds a commission in the German army and is a member of the military attache reserve. He was deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan with both the British Army and the German Bundeswehr.
