This title takes a close look at the German, Italian, Croatian, Serbian, Montenegrin, Bulgarian, Macedonian, and Slovenian units that fought for the Axis powers in Yugoslavia. Zusammenfassung An account of the uniforms, weaponry, military practices and tactics of Axis forces and their foes in Yugoslavia between 1941 and 1944.
