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.

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.

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!

A reference in matter of picture and colour photography. Most of the description are too succinct. In a roughly 66 pages and over a hundred photography, you get a good view of some parts of the Waffen-SS uniforms. Dont expect specific Waffen-SS portion to be exploited. Photographic reference only, but for a reference ..., it's a pleasent book to look at and at this price it's a perfect book to add in a collection...

This book is a must buy reference to the reenactor an the modeler. In fact I have customized almost all the uniforms depicted here. You won't regret buying it.

Although the photos are mostly of reproduction uniforms stagged by re-enactors, they do give a good all around look at the uniforms worn by the SS. Two thirds of the book is dedicated to their cammouflage and there many differant types and paterns. In all a good referance book.

Este libro, aunque pequeño, ilustra con exelentes fotografías a color de personas portando los uniformes y equipo personal (armas ligeras, mochilas, correajes, cascos, etc.) de las Waffen SS. Los uniformes y equipo son originales, obtenidos de colecciones particulares. La calidad de las fotografías es tan buena que es muy facil reproducir los patrones de camuflaje al pintar una figura. Los uniformes presentados pertenecen a soldados de varias armas de las Waffen SS: tanquistas, artillería autopropulsada, tropas de montaña, infantería y uno de paracaidista, asicomo el uniforme de un general. En fin es una buena referencia para el modelista de figuras militares de las SS. Lo único malo es que no cubre en su totalidad todos los uniformes y patrones de camuflaje que existieron, pero de todas maneras resulta un libro muy atractivo.
