German Soldiers of World War Two
Another excellent book from HISTORE & COLLECTIONS this time it's the Germans of World War 2. It is 135 pages of high quality photographs of re-creators in authentic uniforms from all theatres that the Germans operated in. The book is divided in to years from 1939 - 1945 so it easy to see what uniforms and equipment were worn in particular areas at particular times. All insignia (No political correctness here) are shown with appropriate weapons and webbing. The only thing missing from this book is photographs from the field which would show how appearances can alter after the normal wear & tear of a soldier's life I have spent much money over the years on cheaper books which showed some of the information I was after but this book supplies most of the information you will need, be it for scale modelling or historical studies. It is a must for any student of World War 2 uniforms. --By Michael J. WalshFINALLY H&C; reissued this absolutely classic title. What had been one of the best color resources on German uniforms of World War II is now even better. The photos from the previous edition have been repeated (with some additional description). But many new uniforms have been added, further fleshing out some lesser known subjects. This book is worth every penny, even if you already own the original. --By P. GeyerIf you are remotely interested in WW2 German Military Uniforms you will find this book very interesting and worthwhile. If your interest is more serious then this book is a must have. The authors have put together an outstanding collection of modern day photographs of fully dressed German Soldiers. World War Two is broken down into different sections: '1939-40 The Blitzkrieg Years','1941-From Crete to Moscow', '1942-The Last Victories', '1943-The Turning Point', '1944-Setbacks on all Fronts', '1945-The Last Stronghold'. The actual quality of the photographs is excellent. The way the subjects modelling the uniforms are presented is excellent. The attention to detail is excellent. As a reference for uniforms and equipment of this period, this book is superb. I have only read the book as a passing interest and have been captivated by the detailed photographs. They may have been a fascist regime and guilty of starting a war, but it must be said, the German Soldier certainly had the smartest uniforms of all combatants. I have no doubt, modellers and military enthusiasts will treasure this book. Highly recommended. --By DHFINALLY H&C; reissued this absolutely classic title.
