4.0 out of 5 stars
Just a picture book - but a good one, July 31, 2004
This review is from: German Combat Uniforms of World War Two, Vol 1 (Uniforms Illustrated No. 5) (Paperback)
Another gem by Arms and Armour Press, whose style is unfortunately seldom emulated. This is a meat and potatoes book - just pictures and lots of good, detailed, well researched and well written captions. There are also some colour plates of surviving insignia artifacts.
Nice broad overview showing the contrasts in uniform and equipment details from 1939 to 1945. It is a pleasure to see someone with actual English language skills writing captions as they flow like good prose should.
Photos are a mix of the familiar and the rare, well reproduced and with many interesting details.
No real organization to the work, simply a collection of items of interest. Not to be taken as a comprehensive history or uniform guide.
