It is constructed of a light card stock binding, with the exterior of the cover bearing a sketch of a Gebirgsjäger, circumscribed by the title. The interior contents consists of ten segmented chapters dispersed through white paper stock pages. It contains extensive and detailed information on all branches of the German armed forces, including expositions on training, equipment, uniforms, and tactical doctrines, as well as on the perceived psyche of German personnel. The book theorizes that German military doctrine of the Second World War emphasizes unity and centralized command, and that unlocking these principles for US forces is key to countering the former on the battlefield. The book was published in March 1945 by the United States War Department, printed by the United States Printing Office in Washington D.C., and contains information stated to be regarded as accurate as of 15 February 1945.
