James’s Reviews > Battle Group! German Kampfgruppen Action of World War Two > Status Update

The battlegroups OF HJ in Falaise held up the Canadian forces although outnumbered significantly. Now its time for the paras in Belgium to show their worth.

The first of the stories re Battle Groups in Africa cover the first year of the war. The second covers the abortive attempt to capture Alexandria.

The focus is now switching to North Africa. The conditions on the eastern front were brutal and in the early days the russian tactics were primative.

Two stories relating to the use of battle groups in the invasion of Poland, the first introduction to Rommel and 7th Panzers in France. a comical piece on the SS/SD Kampf Group planned for the invasion of Great Britain. Then Crete and now Russia. Well written using unusual sources.

A look at the germans use of Battle Groups during wwII. First chapter deals with the war in Poland.
