this is an excellent study of German infantry tactics. Gudmundsson describes the various versions of the German training regimens for breaking through trenches. Interestingly he credits the original idea for infiltration tactics to be from analysis of the Boer war. There is also reference to operations were lessons were learned. There are occasional comments about how German WWI tactics led to World War II Blitzkrieg I would have appreciated more on this. Much of the book is based on German sources.Highly recommended!
