9781472811288 1472811283 The Sturmartillerie units that swept through France and then into Russia early in World War II constituted a seemingly invincible barrage of armoured vehicles and infantry, adept at overcoming enemy strongpoints. Their armoured assault guns and foot soldiers moved as one on the battlefield, largely using the purpose-built Sturmgeschütz infantry support gun to wipe out resistant pockets of the enemy. As the tide of war turned and desperate German forces were harried across Europe, these units and their equipment were broken up and used in ad hoc and unconventional ways that corrupted the original Sturmartillerie concepts. Featuring thrilling combat action reports and excerpts from interviews with veterans, this new and exhaustive study by armour expert Thomas Anderson details the development and operational history of this innovative force. Tracing the technical development and evolution of the vehicles deployed, it describes how the role of the Sturmartillerie and the tactics it employed transformed from the glory years of Blitzkrieg through to the desperate defence of the last years of the war.
