Brandenburgers were soldiers of WW2 German intelligence service. This book (although lacking in some areas, like better lectoring e.g. – lots of minor grammatical errors but nothing too serious) tells the story of this special forces group – from their inception as a specialized unconventional warfare group to their end as an ordinary infantry division fighting on the Eastern front. As it seems to be the case in almost any field of military expertise Germans made great contribution(s) to tactics of unconventional military units.

If you are into military history you will like this one.
