Disappointing Flag Book,
By
This review is from: Flags of the Third Reich (Special Editions (Military)) (Paperback)
Although this book showed some flags I was unfamiliar with, it came up short in terms of small pennants, which was my main reason for ordering it. In addition, there were very few color pages at all, and none of actual flags showing the detail most Collectors are looking for. Save your money.

This review is from: Flags of the Third Reich (3): Party & Police Units (Men-at-Arms) (Paperback)
This book shows most of the party and police unit flags of the Third Reich. It is not all inclusive, but what it shows is done thoroughly and in depth. In particular, the drawings of the flags show the details of the pole tops--a feature that is often overlooked by reference books. Many of the pictures have been shown in other references, but this author brings a wealth of information together in one place. Drawings are exceptional.
