STORMTROOPER: Elite German Assault Soldiers

by Stephen Bull

Germany's tanks in World War II were accompanied by a new type of soldier, the world's first fully mechanized infantrymen, or panzergrenadiers, popularly known as "stormtroopers." This fully illustrated account of the uniforms, equipment and tactics of the panzergrenadiers, both Army and Waffen-SS, also includes a bibliography and a world directory of museums and interest groups.

[Grant · Rating 5 out of 5]

Bull's work is lavishly illustrated but the accompanying text is thorough. Bull carries the reader from the advent of stormtroopers in the First World War through the political stormtroopers of the Nazi party and into World War II until the final collapse of German fighting forces.
