Infantry Attacks (
Deu:
Infanterie Greift An) is a
book on
military tactics written by
Erwin Rommel, in
German, about his experiences during
World War I. It was published in
1937 and helped to persuade
Adolf Hitler to give Rommel high command, although he was not from an old military family or the
Prussian aristocracy. It is still reprinted, from time to time. It is rumoured that
Patton was a fan of the book.
