The photographs are very done well and nicely put together. There is a German/English glossary in the back that is a plus. Unfortunately with this, as with other regalia and costume books, some of the hard to find uniform descriptions that I am lookng for are not in there. I have yet to see a description or photograph of a camp commandant's uniform, which surprises me. I would like one for my writing, but I'm about to give up on finding a description of what I need.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tons of superb photos of high-end Heer militaria!, May 10, 1999

By	Jeffery Majer "jeffmajer" (Chicago, Il USA) - See all my reviews

Well-orgaized, high-quality photos (along with numerous close-ups of prominent features) accompanied by insightful text provide an excellent sourcebook for collectors and historians. Author traces the developement of Heer uniforms throughout the course of the war in a series of plates depicting models dsressed entirely in period uniforms. Well-researched and well-presented! For it's price one of the best on the market.

4.0 out of 5 stars Too Much Emphasis on Officers, June 18, 1998

By A Customer

This is a fine book except that it features only about 28 uniforms and more than half is devoted to officer uniforms. So it's a rather poor source for enlisted men's uniforms as seen on the battlefields. Maybe the title should read "German Army Officer Uniforms and Misc. Others." Also, it would've been nicer if the photos were shot not inside a studio.
