Presented by military expert Dr. Christopher Bullock these extraordinary films include a re-creation of German squad level tactics a guide to using seven different types of German infantry weapons and a review of enemy artillery from the smallest field pieces to gigantic railway guns. There's also a review of German coastal fortifications - essential viewing for men about to throw themselves onto the beaches of Normandy - and a very thorough look at the fighting strengths and tactics of Elite Nazi airborne troops. Other films include a guide to knocking out different types of panzer tanks a look at the V-1 and V-2 menace enemy aircraft identification films and an overview of Axis 'sneak craft' - manned torpedoes and mini-submarines.
