In August 1914 the mobilization of Imperial Germany's 800,000-strong army ushered in the first great war of the modern age - a war which still stands as the greatest slaughter of soldiers in history. That German Army is also the best example of a particular period of military thought, when virtually the whole manpower of the European nations was integrated into mass conscript armies, supported by several age categories of reservists and by dedicated industrial and transport systems. In this first of three volumes the author offers an extraordinary mass of information, in text and tables, illustrated by photographs and colour plates.

Review
"...beautifull illustrated and the eight color plates show off a variety of WWI uniforms/equipment that are appropriate for armies that fought in the RCW...fills a very necessary spot in my wargaming library... As always, Osprey books form the first line of any 'attack' on a new period of study!" -HMG Reviewing Stand
From the Publisher

Good Numbers Book,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The German Army in World War I (1): 1914-15 (Men-at-Arms) (Paperback)
This book and the other 2 in the series about the German Army during the time of WW1 are fine detail books. Great stats, order of battle, organizational relationships, etc. Not a good story read. More of a research resource. Worth the $$$.
