The savage partisan war on the Eastern Front during World War II
saw a wide variety of forces deployed by both sides. On the Soviet
side, civilian partisans fought alongside and in co-operation with
Red Army troops and Red Army and NKVD 'special forces'. On the
German side, German Army security divisions, with indigenous
components including cavalry, fought alongside SS police and
Waffen-SS units and other front-line troops employed for short
periods in the anti-partisan role. In addition to providing the
background history of the forces of both sides, this study focuses
upon three examples of German anti-partisan operations that show
varied success in dealing with the Soviet partisan threat. Notably,
it covers a major operation in north-west Russia during the spring
of 1943 - Operation Spring Clean - that saw Wehrmacht security
forces including local components fighting alongside troops under
the SS umbrella against a number of Soviet partisan brigades.
During the fighting, German forces even employed captured French
tanks from earlier in the war against the partisans. Featuring
specially commissioned artwork and drawing upon an array of
sources, this is an absorbing account of the brutal fighting
between German security forces and their Soviet partisan opponents
during the long struggle for victory on World War II's Eastern
Front.
