From the publisher: Drawing upon eyewitness battlefield reports, this absorbing study accesses the technical performance and combat record of the MG 08 and MG 08/15 and other German machine guns, analyzing their strengths and limitations in a variety of battlefield roles.

 

FSM says: Micro details of German machine guns as well as, incidentally, the uniforms of the men who managed them. Excellent period photos show all of the above clearly and shed light on their operation.
