Every section of the German army had its own unique badges and accoutrements, all of which are illustrated and explained in this book. This book is packed full of examples of the typical equipment, rank and badge insignia and uniforms from 1933 to 1945. It contains 375 black and white photographs whit-in 212 pages of information in a hardback binding. The colour section includes side arm knots, shoulder straps & collar patches for NCO's and other ranks, officers and generals. There is also a rather interesting section on how the "Zeltbahn" (a triangular cape or poncho also used as a shelter) was worn. Very useful and informative for any student of this era This oldie but still relevant book on German Army Uniforms continues to stand the test of time. The context and relevance of various items of equipment and insignia worn with the uniforms is clearly indicated and backed by good pictures and diagrams. --Danny Boy This book is invaluable when trying to identify German uniforms from old photographs. A great source for researchers and authors. --D. Chadwick We are a Military Museum and we find these books very valuable in identifying our artifacts. We have an extensive research library and have history students using boks like this in their research. --Regional Military Museum -
