Revised Expanded Edition, 691 pages. Hardcover with a dust jacket. A huge volume! Over 500 illustrations The first edition of this classic work appeared in 2004, and has long been out of print. The author, a prizewinning military historian, has continued his research in the military archives of Germany and elsewhere and we now present this expanded, revised edition, which contains the most complete and authoritative account ever published of the intermediate caliber assault rifle and the revolutionary 7.92x33mm kurz cartridge. It has been said that Adolf Hitler was the greatest general the Allies had during WWII, and several examples of his fatefully bungled tactical decisions are discussed. None was perhaps more significant than his refusal on three separate occasions to sanction the development and adoption of the intermediate caliber assault rifle as the general issue weapon of the Wehrmacht. Its acceptance and fielding proved to be a long, tortuous and never fully completed process and, as a measure of the complexity of the story, in all of German small arms history, no weapon was renamed so often within such a short period of time. The Sturmgewehr 44 (assault rifle 44) to give it its ultimate name, was belatedly approved by Hitler in October, 1944, after his earlier rejections had delayed the program for a full year, and by the time he changed his mind a general rearming was out of the question. Nevertheless, the Sturmgewehr was by far the most important and influential small arm and cartridge development of the war. Fully indexed. An outstanding and exhaustive study. Books.

Handrich, a prizewinning german military historian, has spent years researching the military archives of Germany and elsewhere to piece together the entire technical and tactical history of the the design, development and fielding of the world's first mass-produced assault rifle and the revolutionary 7.92x33mm kurz cartridge, with much entirely new material. The origins of the assault rifle are traced back to the last years of World WAr I when machine guns, fielded in massive numbers, tookove rthe long range duties previously assigned to the Gewehr98. The realisation that the G98 rifle was overlong and overpowered for close-range action led to the development of the bergmann MP18/1 Maschinenepistole, which fired the 9x19 mm Parabellum cartridge from the 32-round snail drum of the Artillery Luger pistol. One of the most difficult and persistent tactical problems concerned how to increase the individual's rifleman's firepower while at the same time increasing the striking power of the squad. The term "striking power" was defined in Army regulations as continuous fire as the riflemen, advancing by increments, applied precise fire with their rifles and then overwhelmed the enemy position in a final, lethal rush "Every assault is a risk. Its success requires a bold and death-defying infantry. The bayonet decides, and the hand grenade!" By 1918 the idea had arisen to develop an dintermediate-range, selective-fire rifle for general issue, which would b emore powerful than a machine pistol but more controllabe than the G98, capable of firing precise, aimed shots at medium ranges as well as lethally effective bursts at short range. The 7.92x33mm kutz clibre Sturmgewehr was by far the most important and influential military small arms development of World War II.
