In World War II, the German Army rifle squad was the best rifle squad in the
world. At its center, was the squad leader who controlled one or two light machine
gun teams, and six riflemen armed with bolt-action rifles. The squad leader of the
German Army rifle squad was taught to be a master of combat tactics, and could
frequently out maneuver larger enemy units. This book is as valuable today as it was
when it was written in 1940 by the German Army. The book is loaded with all kinds
of interesting combat tactics that are applicable today for the soldier or guerrilla
fighter. This book also includes many interesting hand-drawn pictures, drawn by
German Army artists depicting the German rifle squad leader orchestrating the
combat tactics of his lethal fighting unit.
