Item description from seller

Large format paperback. 221 pages. Bibliography. Profusely illustrated with photographs and maps. Research Survey No. 5. "At the end of World War I, the Germans adopted the elastic defense IR depth and continued to use it as their basic doctrine through the end of World War II However, because of limitations caused by difficult terrain, severe weather, manpower and supply shortages, Soviet tactics, and Hitler's order to stand fast. German commanders were unable to implement the Elastic Defense in its true form. Even so, innovative and resourceful unit commanders were able to adapt to the harsh realities of combat and improvise defensive methods that saved the German armies from complete annihilation." -- from the preface by General F.M. Franks, Jr. A lightly used copy, square, clean and unmarked but for some brief highlighting to bibliography. Very good. Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.

Store description

We are a generalist bookseller who has been selling online since 2003. Our goal is to provide our customers with the best books at the best prices. As a used and antiquarian seller all of our copies are unique and our stock is limited by our ability to source new material from a variety of venues. We strive to describe our books as accurately as possible and have embarked on a policy of adding at least one photograph for each new listing added. Older entries in our database may not include a picture, if this is so please request one and we will gladly send it to you via email.
