from the Cover:

“Bravery on the field of battle has been an aspect of war since conflicts firs bagan. ‘Heroism under enemy fire’ and ‘selfless devotion to duty in the face of overwhelming odds’ are phrases echoed in all armies, since bravery is not dependent upon nationality or cause. The recognition of such acts, however, is more affected by fate, and the infantryman has historically often been passed over in favour of the dashing cavalryman or the ace fighter pilot. The German foot soldier in World War Two has been all but forgotten in favour of more glamorous Wehrmacht camrades, but in this follow-up to his previous work, Aces of the Reich, Gordon Williamson concentrates solely on the ourstanding feats of bravery performed by 32 ninfantry aces. The result is a valuable insight into the experiencesof the foot soldier and of human reactions in a war situation.”
