Infantry Attacks
From Free net encyclopedia
Infantry Attacks (in German: Infanterie greift an) is a classic book on military tactics written by German General Erwin Rommel about his experiences in World War I. In it were his Stoßtruppen (shock troops) tactics. It was published in 1937 and helped to persuade Adolf Hitler to give Rommel high command, although he was not from an old military family or the Prussian aristocracy which had traditionally dominated the German officer corps. It is still reprinted from time to time.
Rommel planned to write a succesor called The Tank In Attack (in German: Panzer greift an) about tank warfare, and gathered much material during the North Africa campaign. However, he never completed this book for several reasons, foremost his early death.
