These were elite Austro-Hungarian assault troops, trained for fast, aggressive trench raids.
They broke enemy lines using shock tactics, grenades, trench clubs, and close combat, often at night or in mountains like the Italian Front.
Their role: infiltrate, overwhelm, and disrupt before the enemy could react.
