German Elite Forces: 5th Gebrigsjager Division and Brandenburgers (Elite Attack Forces) by Michael Sharpe is the fourth volume in a nine-book series that examines the tactics, organization and battlefield roles of two of Nazi Germany’s specialist formations in the Second World War. Blending campaign narrative with tactical analysis, the book follows the 5th Gebrigsjager’s mountain warfare across the Balkans and Mediterranean and the Brandenburgers’ clandestine commando operations—placing unit actions within the broader strategic context of the Eastern Front and European theaters to reveal how elite mountain troops and special-forces units were trained, equipped and employed in combined and irregular warfare.
This compact, illustrated military history is presented in the focused, reference-style format typical of the series and includes maps, period photographs and pictorial unit references, detailed unit histories, equipment profiles and operational summaries—making it valuable to collectors, researchers and history enthusiasts interested in German mountain infantry and special operations. ISBN13: 9780785823254.

Before you enlist a new title into your personal library, check the Condition Report below to see how much action these volumes have seen:
New: Fresh Out of Bootcamp
Flawless and untested. This book is in pristine, new condition and ready for its first assignment.
Like New: Light Combat Experience
Almost new and in great shape. It has clearly been read before and is ready to fight again, but it shows very little wear from its time in the field.
Good: A Few Scars or Shell Shock
A reliable veteran. The book might have some bent corners or a dust cover with a few scratches, but it’s still sturdy and standing tall.
Fair: Battle-Hardened
Visible signs of a long campaign. Expect some stains, bent pages, and perhaps some minor tears on the cover. It’s seen the trenches, but the intel inside is still solid.
Poor: Survived Iwo Jima
This one has been through the meat grinder. It carries noticeable damage, heavy staining, or significant wear—but like any old soldier, it would love to be read one last time before it retires.
