Field Marshal Montgomery's thoughts on battlecraft. In the winter of 1944, before the Battle of the Bulge, Montgomery took the time to write down his basic thoughts (in reality his doctrinal mantra) on handling infantry and armoured divisions in war and the use of air power in battle. What is interesting is the realisation that he was always a man for the set-piece battle, and the resulting conclusion that Operation Market-Garden was not typical of his method at all. In reading these three pamphlets (amalgamated into one by MLRS) the voice of the man can be quite clearly heard!

The British Army issued this pamphlet when it became quite apparent that operations in snow and mountainous areas were in serious prospect, and it compliments the already published Mountain Warfare. This pamphlet is of dual value, for it teaches how to fight in snow, and aso how to survive. The pamphlet covers infantry, armour and other arms operating in snow, and is recommended.

The Manual of Protection against Air Raids consisted of three pamphlets, all of which are printed together in this publication. The three are: "Protection against Gas in the field," "Respirators" and "Passive Air Defence."

River crossings are always a problem for ground forces - and particularly after D-Day when there were many rivers to cross.

This is a reprint of the manual for snipers produced in 1946 by the British Army. It includes all the lessons learned during the Second World War.

This manual was issued by the War Office just prior to D-Day and is the official line on the cooperation between tanks and infantry which was absolutely essential for tactical success on the mainland of Europe against the Germans - who were very good at this tactic themselves. Reading the pamphlet illustrates the lessons learned in the previous four years and shows that at long last the British Army had caught up with the Germans in an important area of batttlecraft.

This manual was issued to the British Army in December 1940, and is a near complete picture of the German Army at the time. The German Army was a complex machine, with many innovative features, yet still relied heavily on the horse for its pulling power in the field. The manual looks at every aspect of the German Army (and, to a lesser extent, the Waffen SS) and gives details as known at the time. It covers the fighting arms and the services behind them - organisation, weapons and equipment and is a first class picture of the German Army at the end of the campaigns of 1940, only six months before the invasion of Russia.
There are also 90 photographs of men, weapons and equipment and a series of pull-outs related to the text.
A title which should be in every German Army collection.
