5.0 out of 5 stars uniforms of the Waffen SS Sports and Drill, panzer, March 11, 2009

This is the third volume in his series of SS uniforms and is equal to all his work in it's depth and scope of research. These books are the most complete studies I have in my library of SS uniforms. The actual reference of the orders from the "SS Clothing Board" and the many color photos make this a valued addition to anyone's collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential addition to the trilogy and the camouflage book, June 23, 2008

This review is from: Uniforms of the Waffen-SS Sports and Drill Uniforms 'Black Panzer Uniforms' (Hardcover)

This third book in the collection of the "Uniforms Of The Waffen-SS" deals with with the panzer uniforms (2/5 of the book), the camouflage uniforms (2/5) and the special uniforms (concentration camps, Sipo-SD, female auxiliaries). I think this one is almost as interesting as the first book and the famous "Camouflage Uniforms Of The Waffen-SS" (the "prologue" of the present "trilogy" about the uniforms of the Waffen-SS) : the whole camouflage chapter is an update to the next release :Camouflage Uniforms of the Waffen-Ss : A Photographic Reference. (Schiffer Military/Aviation History)
Since the release of that book, a lot of collectors around the world contacted M. Beaver, to update the topic. Surviving examples, and war photographs are therefore added on that book.
After the camouflage uniforms, three different and usually not studied topics : the "SS-Totenkopfverbände" - concentration camp personnel, the Sipo-SD troops (usually known as the "Gestapo" in most of the continental Europe), and the female auxiliaries.
The variety of topics make that book a very important addition to the collection. Highly recommended !

Quite simply, a fantastic study of the uniforms and equipment of the Waffen SS. This is the third book in the set, buy all three while you can still get them in hardcover. These will be reference books for decades to come.
