DESCRIPTION

From Cassino to Stalingrad, many of the most famous and brutal battles of World War II were fought in the burnt out remains of cities. This book describes and illustrates the tactics used by the men who fought nearly face-to-face amidst the ruins.

From Cassino to Stalingrad, many of the most famous and brutal battles of World War II were fought in the burnt out remains of cities.

In a continuation of the tactics mini-series, this book analyzes the physical tactics of the close-quarter fighting that took place in ruined cities during World War II. Street-to-street fighting in cities was not a new development, but the bombed-out shells of cities and advances in weaponry meant that World War II took such strategies to a new level of savagery and violence.

Packed with eye-witness accounts, tutorials from original training manuals, maps, and full-colour artwork, this is an eye-opening insight into the tactics and experiences of infantry fighting their way through ruined cities in the face of heavy casualty rates and vicious resistance.
