A concluding chapter examines German infantry tactics."--product description at amazon.com Grenadiers: The Story Of Waffen SS General Kurt 'Panzer' Meyer (Stackpole Military History), Paperback, by Kurt Meyer "German General Kurt 'Panzer' Meyer's autobiography is a fascinating insight into the mind of one of Germany's most highly decorated and successful soldiers of World War II.
