[Dylan Gurl · Rating 5 out of 5]

A good read — an interesting account of a few significant battle groups throughout WWII, detailing their commanders/actions/impacts. Certainly does a good job of highlighting the value of flexible organization and command in action. Sometimes perhaps a little too praising of German courage for my taste, and certainly not a thorough examination of any units. Still, a good read.

Completed the book on way to work this morning.
The courage and fortitude of the german soldier comes through in every story. Their adaptability is amazing. In the face of overwhelming odds they achieve feats beyond reasonable expectation.

Good explanation of how the Germans utilized "new" groupings of army units to make the most of their manpower.
