5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible overview of G.I equipment, 26 Mar 2007
By Bor (Amsterdam) - See all my reviews
This book has to be seen to be believed. It provides information on all pieces of equipment used by G.I.'s in the ETO, and I have until now found every piece I wanted to identify in this book. Which I think is superb. And I didn't just find it, but all these items are shown in colour photographs with fitting descriptions.

To give you an idea of what to expect I'll give a list of the categories of items on display. The book opens with all sorts of insignia and decorations. These range from unit insignia as worn on the sleeves to rank insignia, and medals and ribbons. Even tailor labels get special mentioning.
Next up is clothing. All sorts of coats and jackets, trousers, shoes and headwear is shown. This even goes so far as to treat underwear, so you see that nothing is forgotten.
The chapter on individual equipment displays a massive number of bags, pouches, packboards etc. Also shown are canteens and their covers, shovels, wire cutters, knives, flashlights, binoculars, etc. The list goes on. Like I said, I haven't been able to trace anything the author forgot to show.
The chapter on weapons is particularly interesting, because it shows the weapons with their ammunition pouches, clips, etc. All are infantry weapons, the heaviest being the M1 8.1mm mortar, bazooka and the M2 .50 cal HMG. But the Thompson is included, so it's not just mainstream weaponry here.
Next up is a chapter on tentage, sleeping and bivouac equipment.

The armored troops, airborne troops and mountain troops each get a special chapter, as do female personnel and military police.

There's a chapter on army rations, showing all sorts of cooking equipmen and rations and even a selection of cigarette packages.
This is followed by a chapter on engineers, one on the signals corps (showing all sorts of communications equipment, from telephones through radios to handie talkies). A chapter on chemical warfare is next, followed by one dealing with the medical department. This describes equipment and dressing used by field-medics, but also surgical equipment and stuff found in field hospitals. A small chapter on army chaplains is followed by one on army publications, one on personal items and finally one on trophies.

The entire book is printed on glossy paper and the photographs are crystal clear. This makes the book a delight to glance through. The fact that everything is neatly organized allows you to find what you want with ease, and the clear captions that go with the pictures will tell you what you want to know.

Now from everything I mentioned above you'll probably have guessed that I like this book. In fact I like it a lot and simply have to recommend it to anyone with an interest in the WW2 American Army in the ETO.
