PART OF ONE OF TWO EDITIONS TO TEST YOURSELF AND FRIENDS ON THE BARDS LIFE

This work discusses the training, weapons, equipment, combat experiences and medical care of the German infantryman between 1941 and 1943. It includes photographs taken by German soldiers during the invasion of Russia and covers the infantryman's daily life and duties as well as combat action.

Readers will also encounter many instances where decisionmakers chose to issue rifles ill-suited for the task at hand when better options were available. Author David Westwood has handled every weapon he describes, from muskets to breechloaders, from repeaters and bolt-action rifles to semiautomatics and self-loaders.
