Gebunden, 224 Seiten, 235mm x 157mm x 18mm, Sprache(n): eng Steel Wind is a piece of historical detective work that explains how Colonel Georg Bruchmuller, an obscure German artillery officer recalled from retirement, played a pivotal role in the revolution of offensive tactics that took place in 1917-18. Ironically, the methods developed by Bruchmuller ultimately were rejected by the German Army of World War II, but they were taken up and applied with a vengeance by the emerging Red Army. The Soviets further developed Bruchmuller's principles and incorporated them into their doctrine, where they remain to this day. Through Soviet doctrine, they have become fundamental to the practice of many other armies. Bruchmuller's influence in shaping the former Soviet Army has also been mirrored in the shape of those armies designed to oppose it.Major General David T. Zabecki enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1966. He served in Vietnam as an infantry rifleman in the 9th Infantry Division, 1967-68. He left Vietnam shortly after the Tet Offensive. After transferring to Germany he was assigned to an 8-inch artillery battalion and eventually became the Battalion Fire Direction Chief. After leaving active duty at the end of 1969, he transferred to the Army National Guard, where he also served as a Battalion Fire Direction Chief in a 105mm unit. Zabecki is a 1995 graduate of the U.S. Army War College. He completed the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College in 1988, receiving the General John J. Pershing Award as the Distinguished Honor Graduate of his year group.
