Description: We have a Factory Copy of an English Translation by John Baum of an original WW2 German Offical Military Manual for the Instruction of the infantry dated 1942. This manual is titled: Instruction Manual For The Infantry, Volume 2a The Rifle Company from 3/16/1941 reprint with qualified corrections according to H. M. 41 No. 189 & H. V. Bi.
