In April 1941, as Churchill strove to counter the German threat to
the Balkans, New Zealand troops were hastily committed to combat in
the wake of the German invasion of Greece where they would face off
against the German Kradschutzen - motorcycle troops. Examining
three major encounters in detail with the help of maps and
contemporary photographs, this lively study shows how the New
Zealanders used all their courage and ingenuity to counter the
mobile and well-trained motorcycle forces opposing them in the
mountains and plains of Greece and Crete. Featuring specially
commissioned artwork and drawing upon first-hand accounts, this
exciting account pits New Zealand's infantrymen against Germany's
motorcycle troops at the height of World War II in the
Mediterranean theatre, assessing the origins, doctrine and combat
performance of both sides.
