    The British intervention in Greece...
  

*by H***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 23, 2018*

In 1940, soldiers of the 2nd New Zealand Division encountered their German counterparts for the first time in northern Greece.  New Zealand infantrymen battled German Motorcycle troops in the mountains, and then again on the Greek Island of Crete.  Those encounters are the subject of this Osprey Combat Series book by David Greentree."New Zealand Infantryman versus German Motorcycle Soldier" introduces the two forces and their weaponry, equipment and training prior to combat.  The book covers three battles in some detail, two in Greece and one on Crete.  The accounts are extremely detailed and nicely supported by diagrams, maps, contemporary photographs and modern illustrations.  The author's concluding analysis makes clear how the outcome of the combats hinged on proper training, leadership, and equipment.  The book as a whole is another indictment of the poor Allied planning for the Greek intervention.This is a fascinating book, providing a surprising level of detail on a campaign that has been well-covered in other books.  German creativity in the use of its unique motorcycle units found a worthy opponent in the New Zealand infantry units it faced in the mountains of Greece and the hills of Crete.  Well recommended.

    GOOD OVERVIEW OF TWO DIFFERENT INFANTRY FORMATIONS
  

*by J***H on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 1, 2017*

It is interesting to see how equipment and vehicles changed as the war progressed.  The motorcycle worked well in western Europe, but as the terrain became rougher and the roads poorer, the motorcycle unit was abandoned as a formation and recon and mobile infantry moved to trucks.  The New Zealand infantry and the Maori battalions in particular have an interesting social dynamic.
