This illustrated volume examines the organization and strength of the German infantry forces that took part in each major German campaign launched during World War II, from the first thrust into Poland through the Bulge, to the last stand--the Battle for Berlin. In particular, the book describes the great sieges: Stalingrad, Leningrad, Sebastopol, Budapest, and Berlin. It details the infantry forces used during each campaign, giving strengths and orders of battle for the formations involved, along with maps of the action, and an assessment of the role of the infantry forces in each offensive.
