Perhaps I should explain.

I am a researcher who has a very keen interest in close combat methods. Obviously, our own commandos were very well versed in these techniques, but I have heard that the Wehrmacht and the SS might have had similar training.

I was wondering if anyone might be able to shed some light upon this subject for me? Perhaps you know of some German paratrooper websites, for example (I have been nable to find any as yet!)

Also, I am of course always interested in learning more about the experiences of our own special troops in WW2.

Okay, hope you can help, and thanks you very much in advance.

Hi all.

I have studied close combat for quite some time now, and am very interested in finding out as much as possible regarding what methods the Germans were taught.

I already have a copy of a book entitled "Engicsher Gangster Methoden" but it is impossible to verify exactly where this work came from.

Please could anyone be of assistance?

Many thanks
