This review is from: Weapons and Equipment of the German Mountain Troops in World War II (Schiffer Military/Aviation History) (Paperback)

This book is wall to wall actual photos of the German Mountain forces and their equipment. It is by a German native, Roland Kaltenegger and was originally titled in German, "Waffen-Arsenal Waffen und Fahrzeuge der Heere und Luftstreikrafte Waffen und Ausrustung der Deutschen Gebirgstruppe im Zweiten Weltkreig". Photos also include Order's of Battle. 48 pages, not counting covers, which also have photos.

2.0 out of 5 stars Unimpressive, October 10, 2007

This review is from: Weapons and Equipment of the German Mountain Troops in World War II (Schiffer Military/Aviation History) (Paperback)

The Order of battle for 1 Gebirgs Division and a bunch of good photos are not enough to make a good book. Most photos might be found elsewhere (like in excellent Kaltenegger's 'Photographic chronicle of the elite Gebirgsjager'). The title is somehow misleading - most of equipment and weapons are described in text only very briefly and not illustrated properly with photos or drawings, apart from maybe artillery pieces.

As a starter to Gebirgsjager works only !
