Description

The savage partisan war on the Eastern Front during World War II saw a complex array of forces deployed by both sides. This study focuses upon three examples of German anti-partisan operations that show varied success in dealing with the Soviet partisan threat. On the German side, security divisions fought alongside SS police and Waffen-SS units, as well as front-line troops employed for short periods in the anti-partisan role. The use of captured French tanks from earlier in the war against partisans is also documented. Featuring specially commissioned artwork, this book provides an absorbing account of the brutal fighting between German security forces and their Soviet partisan opponents. The study covers a major operation in north-west Russia during the spring of 1943, known as Operation Spring Clean, which saw Wehrmacht security forces including local components fighting alongside troops under the SS umbrella against several Soviet partisan brigades.
