Germany almost won World War I, despite the naval blockade by the British and the fact that the coalition with which it had to fight against was made up of several of the most important powers of the time. Germany was finally defeated in November 1918. Its army and its population, stricken by hunger and demoralisation, had long since exceeded their capacity for resistance by a wide margin. This book focuses on the history and organization of the German army in the period between 1914 and 1918.

Throughout its nearly 400 pages, it includes a large number of unpublished photographs of high quality, careful texts with detailed information of the troops and profiles, collector’s material and illustrations. It is an essential volume for any WWI enthusiast.
