Hitler first considered an invasion of Great Britain in autumn
1940, then scheduled Operation Barbarossa, the conquest of the
European part of the Soviet Union, for May 1941. Anxious to emulate
Hitler's successes, the Italian dictator Mussolini embarked upon
unnecessary military adventures in North Africa and the Balkans,
which forced Hitler's intervention, diverting and depleting
precious German resources, and a six-week postponement of
Barbarossa. In this second of four volumes [Men-at-Arms 311, 316,
326 & 330] on the German Army of the Second World War, Nigel
Thomas examines the uniforms and insignia of the forces involved in
North Africa and the Balkans.
