Description
Part VI: Infantry, Volume 1 (edited by Gerhard Bauer and Jürgen Kraus)
About the contents: The infantry formed the strongest branch of the German Army. In addition to the 218 active infantry regiments existing at the outbreak of the war, a further 160 regiments were formed in the course of the war. Significant changes occurred in their structure during the war, especially due to the ongoing reinforcement with machine guns and mine launchers, which were eventually organised into their own companies. On the other hand, regiments often had to surrender entire companies to form new formations. The volume first analyses the reinforcements and organisational changes of this type of weaponry, also with regard to the changed budget strengths. Then the regiments are presented individually in their development. For each regiment, all essential data on its organisational history are presented in a clear form, especially on its formation, reorganisation and dissolution, supplemented by information on the garrison or formation locations as well as the unit that provided the replacement in each case. Special emphasis is placed on the subordination of the regiments to brigades and divisions. The frequently changing subordinations and assignments to foreign units make it possible to trace the deployment of the troops during the war without any gaps. Information on the demobilisation and disbandment of the regiments after the end of the war rounds off the account. They are supplemented by precise evidence of which volunteer formations each regiment formed and in what form it was incorporated into the new Reichswehr in 1919. 496 pages.
