Amazing Collection of hard-to-find and exquisite militaria in one great book!!!,
By
This review is from: World War 2 German War Booty a Study in Photographs (Schiffer Military History) (Hardcover)
This book is a great read-through for anyone who is interested in either militaria collecting or a general appreciation of the second world war. The one aspect of this books that sets it above the rest is its documentation of GI's taking these things back up, which is shown through several example photographs. I reccomend this book, yes the price may be high, but if you are interested in seeing amazing items like Hitler's famous "brown shirt", and a very large selection of other personalities, such as Goering, Himmler, and many others!!! Overall a wonderful book that is a great photo history!

Exceptional,
By Iva Buch (New Zealand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: World War 2 German War Booty a Study in Photographs (Schiffer Military History) (Hardcover)
Every now and then you come across a book that you cannot put down for various reasons, be it the storyline, the photos or the topic. This is one of those books that has all three of the above.
It shows in fine colour photographs, and large ones at that, some very very rare militairia "liberated" by vets and brought back home. All types of trophies seem to have been secured such as Hats, medals, daggers, swords, firearms and uniforms to name a few and all are shown in excellent detail. Printed on fine glossy paper for excellent photographic reproduction it also shows US soldiers liberating, trading or searching for Third Reich artifacts which I found fascinating. Collectors from around the world have opened up their collections to the author for a very rare insight into authnetic Nazi memrobilia which few if us will ever see in our lifetime. I agree with the previous reviewer if you are a collector or do have an interest in the third reich paraphenalia this is a must have and worth every penny

This review is from: World War 2 German War Booty a Study in Photographs (Schiffer Military History) (Hardcover)
This extensive review of WWII German war booty is especially good - because of the superb photographs. Perfect for historians, collectors, reenactors or anyone trying to identify historic artifacts from the European theater. A great addition to the library of anyone interested in history.
