How the German stormtroopers developed their battle winning infantry tactics was a mystery to the Allies. Far ahead of their time, the tactics and techniques of these elite infantrymen of 1918 resembled those used by the 2nd Para at Goose Green in 1982. Stormtroopers were fit and aggressive, earning distinctions -- and extra rations -- through proven bravery on the field, and their training placed the emphasis on individual initiative. This book provides a concise guide to an extraordinary group of fighters whose name remained associated with victory long after the German defeat.
