This review is from: Weapons and Fighting Tactics of the Waffen-SS (Hardcover)

This book covers the main weapons used by the Waffen SS during World war 2. It`s very well illustrated with photos and drawings of the weapons. It`s not a book that studies the subject in depth so you don't have to be an expert to appreciate it. It will be a fine complement to my other books about the Waffen SS and their equipment.
