ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
In April 1941, as Churchill strove to counter the German threat to the
Balkans, New Zealand troops were hastily committed to combat in the wake of
the German invasion of Greece where they would face off against the German
Kradsch¼tzen – motorcycle troops.
Examining three major encounters in detail with the help of maps and
contemporary photographs, this lively study shows how the New Zealanders
used all their courage and ingenuity to counter the mobile and well-trained
motorcycle forces opposing them in the mountains and plains of Greece and
Crete.
Featuring specially commissioned artwork and drawing upon first-hand
accounts, this exciting account pits New Zealand’s infantrymen against
Germany’s motorcycle troops at the height of World War II in the
Mediterranean theatre, assessing the origins, doctrine and combat
performance of both sides.
