      Stormtroopers were specialist soldiers of the German Army in World War I. In the last years of the war, Stoßtruppen (“Shock troops” or “Thrust Troops”) were trained to fight with “infiltration tactics”, part of the Germans’ new method of attack on enemy trenches.27886050f6409d53a0520468d0a10cdd

       

      Men trained in these methods were known in Germany as Sturmmann (literally “storm man” but usually translated as “stormtrooper”), formed into companies of Sturmtruppen (“assault troops”, more often and less exactly “storm troops”). The infiltration tactics of the stormtroopers are still in use today, in one form or another. Other armies have also used the term “assault troops”, “shock troops” or fireteams for specialist soldiers who perform the infiltration tasks of stormtroopers.
