Synopsis

Individual equipment of the German soldier at the beginning of World War II was still heavily inspired by that of the combatant of the Great War, despite the introduction of new material between the two wars. This guide details the main variants of each piece, the bayonet through to the pouches, gas masks and the individual tools. It is a valuable tool for the collector, the modeller and the historian.

MEDIA REVIEWS

A recent addition to the series of Militaria Guides from Histoire et Collections is another very handy reference not only for militaria collectors, but especially for modellers. There are some archive photos to give context to how the gear was worn, but the bulk of the book is filled with superb modern colour photos of the actual equipment, showing the multitude of variations that came about as the war progressed * Military Model Scene *
Whether one is a figure builder specialising in German World War Two soldiers, or includes figures as part of a model or diorama, this book is an invaluable source of information on the equipment carried by soldiers during that period. * Airfix Model World 11/04/2016 *
