Deployed in Ukraine at the beginning of the war, the Hungarian Army were involved in a number of brutal encounters with the Red Army, including stubborn resistance in Transylvania in the summer of 1944 and the brave defence of Budapest...

Hitler first considered an invasion of Great Britain in autumn 1940, then scheduled Operation Barbarossa, the conquest of the European part of the Soviet Union, for May 1941. Anxious to emulate Hitler's successes, the Italian dictator Mussolini embarked upon unnecessary military adventures in North Africa and the Balkans, which forced Hitler's intervention, diverting and depleting precious German resources, and a six-week postponement of Barbarossa. In this second of four volumes Men-at-Arms 311, 316, 326 & 330] on the German Army of the Second World War, Nigel Thomas examines the uniforms...

W czasie II wojny światowej pole walki zdominowała niemiecka doktryna wojny manewrowej. Metodą prób i błędów Niemcy jako pierwsi osiągnęli właściwą kombinację siły czołgów oraz piechoty i artylerii o wysokiej mobilności. Ta integracja mobilnych jednostek, sprzętu i taktyki stała się fundamentem sukcesów Rzeszy w pierwszej połowie wojny. W miarę przeciągania się konfliktu alianci starali się kopiować niemiecką taktykę. Wojska niemieckie pozostawały jednak niezrównane w tego typu działaniach, dopóki straty nie ograniczyły poważnie ich możliwości. Niniejsze...
