Format:Hardcover
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.

A Specialist Book
6 April 2002
Format:Hardcover
You have to really enjoy this subject to find value in this book. Overall the author did a good job, although I would have liked to have more background on some of the topics. I have found the book to be a good guide while visiting WW 2 museums that have uniform collections.

Excellent reference
23 July 1998
Format:Hardcover
Very thorough, very detailed, plenty of pictures. Indispensible if you are more than casually interested in the subject.
Dated but Credible
24 Dec 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book was published 40 years ago. There are only a few color sections, such as bayonet knots, should patches and a couple of camouflage patterns. The rest are all black and white photos with some line drawings. There is solid information here and you will find some interesting photographs. I still give it four stars despite its lack of color pictures of uniforms and equipment. The book is that good.
