Description of  Germany 1944: A British Soldier's Pocketbook

A facsimile reprint of the original pocketbook issued to servicemen entering Nazi Germany in 1944. Part practical guide, part propaganda tool, it is an absorbing window on an uncertain time. Today's reader will find here opinionated comment and crude stereotype, but also subtle insights and humour. An illuminating introduction reveals the intelligence community's misgivings about the book, and Sir Charles Wheeler provides a vivid personal memoir.
