Condición: New. 2023 reprint (of original pub c1946). SB 34pp The Home Guard had 1.5 million local volunteers otherwise ineligible for military service, such as those who were too young or too old to join the regular armed services or those in reserved occupations.Immortalised in the British television comedy Dad's Army, which followed the formation and running of a platoon, this armed citizen militia's role was a far more serious affair, that of acting as a secondary defence force in case of invasion by the forces of Nazi Germany. Some rather more secret roles included sabotage units who would disable factories and petrol installations following the invasion. Members with outdoor survival skills and experience could be recruited into the Auxiliary Units, an extremely secretive force of more highly trained guerrilla units with the task of hiding behind enemy lines after an invasion, emerging to attack and destroy supply dumps, disabling tanks and trucks, assassinating collaborators, and killing sentries and senior German officersWe have reissued as a tribute to the Home Guard many of the better books offering high quality of instruction to recruits, showing Tactics - How to handle guns and use the rifle and bayonet and All that was needed to know about unarmed combat. Also, importantly, many of the fascinating 'Regimental Histories' of the battalions that were produced privately just after the War. Book. Nº de ref. del artículo: 30904
