The Organization and Order of Battle of Militaries in World War II

There are numerous order of battle books on the market. So what makes this one so special? Why should one decide on this particular book? Most order of battle books usually deal only at the division and corps level of a country's army. Most higher commands are not covered. This book deals with all the branches of a country's military giving a breakdown of all the major echelons of command from theater down to brigade under each component (army groups armies corps divisions and brigades) and the equivalent command structure for the other military branches are included. Second it attempts to give an overall command structure of the country's military showing the central headquarters command structure as well as the major components (army groups armies corps etc). Third most order of battle books list the commander and their dates of tenure. This book includes those but also lists their next duty assignments or where they went after leaving the post. One can literally trace a general officer's career through the upper echelons of command making this completely different from all the other books on order of battle in the market
