Description
For the first time, an accessible, illustrated explanation of the specifics of how soldiers in World War II were able to communicate in battle – with each other, with tanks, and with supporting artillery and aircraft.
Perhaps the biggest difference in the fighting between the two world wars lay in the invention of the man-portable radio that allowed for a greater degree of tactical coordination than ever before. Gordon L. Rottman provides an informative study of the use of small radios, field telephones, signal flares and ground-to-air signaling that revolutionized the battlefield.
