3.0 out of 5 stars Postwar photographs of people in SS uniforms., June 7, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Waffen-Ss Uniforms: In Colour Photographs (Europa Militaria) (Paperback)

This is a little 66-page book of people wearing SS uniforms. There is some limited amount of descriptive text. The information is not of sufficient detail to be of interest to the collector, but should be quite useful for the model builder. The photographs are of excellent quality.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Photos!, June 18, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Waffen-Ss Uniforms: In Colour Photographs (Europa Militaria) (Paperback)

This is great for those who don't want to read encyclopedic texts on uniforms. The photos are alive in full color and with rich details. The natural backdrop helps a lot to create an aura of period realism. Also equipments and weapons are well illustrated with the uniforms. I suppose there are more expensive and authoritative works but this one is a gem that would satisfy many.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite SS reference., September 18, 2002

This review is from: Waffen-Ss Uniforms: In Colour Photographs (Europa Militaria) (Paperback)

As an artist, finding color WWII reference material is quite tricky, and usually limited to color plates done by other artists! This is just top shelf to me! -A real visual treat. The pictures are large and in very sharp focus allowing for good appreciation of detail and color, and there is a wide spectrum of mini-eras represented.There are several other german WWII color photo books out there, but none can boast the sheer number of Waffen-SS variations depicted here.Buy it right now, for one day you will look back with disbelief when you think you ever debated about adding this to your collection. -It's that good!
