I read this book in the 80s when the myth of the German soldier as the highly skilled practitioner of war was at its height. Jary refuted this pointing out that they didn't like patrolling at night for example. He was a regular contributor to the British Army Review and a big fan of the Universal Carrier arguing for a similar requirement in the modern force. A great read.

Thanks for sharing. One for the list I think.
