A detailed account of the composition, structure and organization of the First World War German Army has long been needed by English-language readers - this work will fill the gap admirably. In more than 300 pages, the authors examine all aspects of the army. A detailed analytical text is followed by an extensive compendium of order-of-battle data.
This volume provides a good, detailed description of the German army of the Great War. The bulk of the text is dry and factual. Published in 1937, the brief concluding chapter espouses the stabbed-in-the-back attitude of the interwar years and ends up with a brief encomium of Adolph Hitler.
