Gebirgsjager Mountain WW2 Infantery Book w/100 photos Snow Winter

Profusely illustrated with superb full-page photographs of the arduous training of German Mountain Troops of the Waffen-SS and the Army in the high Alps.

Depicting climbing and shooting exercises in the high mountains, mountain infantrymen training bare-chested in the snow, with hand grenades, rifles and machine guns through the snow-covered steep slope, the mountain engineer building a wire obstacle from barbed wire, blowing up avalanche overhangs, building bridges, transporting heavy loads with the mule, mountain artillery, mountain paramedics showing how they use skis and ropes to get wounded comrades out of the mountains.

But also climbing ice walls or downhill skiing in powder snow. The photos show all manner of Gebirgsjager uniforms and equipment and brief captions provide the reader with an excellent overview.

A very exciting book with winter and summer pictures.
