Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

The Brandenburgers belonged to Germany's most secret unit. Between 1939 and 1942, these elite soldiers, under the guise of Polish, Dutch, Yugoslavian, British and Soviet uniforms, spearheaded the German Army's offensives. This is a study of the division and their spirit.

Reseña del editor

In addition to its well-known conventional troops like the panzers, panzergrenadiers and paratroopers, the German armed forces in World War II also made extensive use of special forces units, concentrated in the Brandenburg Division. Their use of foreign uniforms and other tactics were clear violations of the rules of war, but the influence of the Brandenburg Division on later special operations around the world is obvious.
