Truppenfuehrung, the 20th-century equivalent of Sun Tzu's ""Art of
War"", served as the basic manual for the German army from 1934 to
the end of World War II. This document provided the doctrinal
framework for blitzkrieg and, as a consequence, for the victories
of Hitler's armies. Rather than giving German military leaders a
""cookbook"" on how to win battles, the manual offered instead a
set of intellectual tools to be applied to complex and continually
changing battle conditions. The keys to understanding the
psychology, philosophy and social values of the German army that
fought World War II are to be found here. This English-language
translation is annotated to help the reader understand its military
and social context.
"Indispensable."--Prof. Robert Citino, author of The Path to
Blitzkrieg "The most influential doctrinal manual ever
written."--Prof. Williamson Murray, author of A War to Be Won:
*Highly readable translation of the military manual that guided the
German Army in World War II*Crystal-clear introduction and notes
place the text in its social and military context*Topics include
command, attack, defense, tanks, chemical warfare, logistics, and
more: Truppenfhrung ("unit command") served as the basic manual for
the German Army from 1934 until the end of World War II, creating
the doctrinal framework for blitzkrieg and the early victories of
Hitler's armies. All commissioned and senior noncommissioned
officers received a copy of the book, which set forth guidelines to
be applied to complex and constantly changing battle conditions.
Reading it is essential to understanding how the German Army fought
the war.
