The opening of the former Soviet Union to the West over the past three years has made accessible, for the first time, much new material on the Red Army of the Great Patriotic War - the huge and varied forces which won some of the greatest battles of World War II against the German invasion. This book contains a range of rare, authentic uniforms modelled and photographed in Moscow: tank commanders and generals, assault infantry and women medics, pilots and NKVD security officers, artillerymen, camouflaged scouts, and many more. The photographs are backed-up by close-ups of insignia and personal equipment.

Something is still missing,
By A Customer
This review is from: Red Army Uniforms of World War II in Colour Photographs (Europa Militaria) (Paperback)
Well, this is a book far above average. A good source for all military artists, modellers etc. The only small detail missing on ALL photographs is - a piece of white cloth ALWAYS sewn to the inner side of collar. This white inner-collar was worn on all Soviet uniforms, as by Generals as well as by the rank and file! As a former conscript of the Soviet Army in the late 70's I still remember how much attention our Company NCO's payed to this lousy piece of cloth, that has to be changed every day in order to look clean, fresh and "cultivated". For unclean "inner-collar" you could be punished. Otherwise this book deserves place on every military history addict's bookshelf.

Warning-CONDENSED VERSION,
By "jtindel84" (Dallas TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Red Army Uniforms of World War II in Colour Photographs (Europa Militaria) (Paperback)
I ordered this book in hopes that it would be the same 200 page photo reference book that my friend had, but it was not. This book is only about 60 pages and does not cover all of the uniforms that I had wanted to see. I sent the book back and I am now in search of the correct one. Do not order this book if you are looking for the longer version.

Red Army Uniforms of WW2 in Color Photographs,
By Everett Walker (Newark, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Red Army Uniforms of World War II in Colour Photographs (Europa Militaria) (Paperback)
Another excellent edition of the Militaria Europa library.Not a subject usually covered as most collectors and hobbyists focus on Germany and the USA. The book shows the uniforms modelled full length and has many excellent closeups and details of Soviet awards and decorations.Only one very minor drawbackthat doesn't detract from the book...not enough detail shots of individual weapons.Still the authoratative book on Soviet uniforms of the period.
