(Subject: History & Development of Warfare - General) This handbook is the product of a unique set of circumstances. In 1945, with the collapse of the German armies, General Reinhard Gehlen, together with his staff, surrendered to US forces. He was the chief of Foreign Armies east, the German Intelligence section on the eastern front. He and his files were brought to Alexandria, Virginia, where, working with US Intelligence specialists, he produced the information on which this handbook, published, chapter by chapter, during 1945 and 1946 was based. For unknown reasons the chapters relating to Armored vehicles, Artillery and Small Arms (viii and x) were never published. Working with captured Soviet materials and 4 years of first-hand combat intelligence reports, the authors produced a picture of Soviet Military organisation which could not be created today, now that so many of the documents are no longer available and so many participants are no longer living. Inasmuch as Soviet military archives were practically inaccessible, the report relied on secondary literature for the Soviet version of World War II. In the late ‘70s some Soviet literature began to reveal more details and, in general, the data published in this report corresponded surprisingly well with more recent Soviet data. The report contains numerous organisational charts/ORBATs, illustrations, tactical maps and diagrams.
