Information About

Hans Von Dach




The book contains advice on how to defend the homeland in case of an enemy invasion through Guerrilla Warfare . Detailed informations on how to organize minor "armies" and resistance groups is given; the readers are also taught on how to build explosives (which earned the book a ban in several countries, including Germany ).

This work, although legendary, is obsolete by today's technological standards, as it studies old cases like the German Wehrmacht occupying Warsaw and the Soviet intrusion into Prague and Budapest . Phrases like "A photocopier is as worthy as a machine gun" seem rustical in view of today's internet and readily available message Encryption like PGP .

Other works of von Dach are titled ''Gefechtstechnik'' ("Combat technique", various editions from 1958 to 1957), ''Kampfbeispiele'' ("Examples of Combat", 1977) and ''Kampfverfahren der Verteidigung'' ("Combat procedures of the Defense", 1959).
