Hey Guys,
Im gonna do a bit of research into the what kind of german kit id like to get in future. I have a mental picture in my head of course but i think a book is needed.
Ive been looking at the osprey books on the waffen ss and heer stuff, but there seems to be 5 or 6 books in a series. I just want one that gives good detailed descriptions and pictures preferably colour pics/illustrations on the overall look and feel. Im not interested in eastern front stuff more normandy and slightly beyond.
Can anyway recommend me a book, even if its not an osprey one.
Well, Osprey ones tend to focus on one type of soldier - i.e. Fallschirmjager or Heer or SS. What impression are you thinking of? "The Armed Forces of World War II" by Mollo covers everything!
You've got nothing to ein, zwei, drei, vier
Hi,
unfortunately there isn't a one stop book for uniforms - rather a collection of various reference books.
However - German Soldiers Of World War Two by Jean de Largarde ISBN 2-915239-35-5 is quite good.
It's modern colour photo's of German uniforms and kit from 1939 - 1945.
If there's anything in particular your thinking about doing as an impression, let me know - I can send you pics/info if you wish.
I think the look im after in Panzer grenadier/Infantry, but a veteran of war.
2 books i use a lot and both in colour are-
GERMAN ARMY UNIFORMS OF WW2 by Krawcyk
WAFFEN SS UNIFORMS IN COLOUR PHOTOGRAPHS by Europa Militaria

Any pics of SS panzer grenadiers in the mean time would be great. I've found a few
