The German Army of World War II collectively referred to its
various engineer units as Pioniere - what would be called combat
engineers in the West. This organization included Pioniertruppen
(Pionier Troops), Bautruppen (Construction Troops),
Eisenbahntruppen (Railway Troops), and Technische Truppen
(Technical Troops). They were first and foremost assault troops,
and construction workers second. They were tasked with overcoming
manmade and natural obstacles, and in the attack they supported the
infantry as specialist assault troops, attacking fortified
positions with demolitions and flamethrowers. In the defence they
constructed fortifications and shelters, erected obstacles, laid
minefields, planted booby traps, cleared fields of fire, erected
camouflage, and maintained supply routes. This book examines the
recruitment and special training of a German Pionier. It also
covers life in the field while on campaign and the of a Pionier
role in supporting infantry assaults.
