be prepared for a rather...erm... weighted view of things but lots of good unit histories.

Here is a good site for general reference,.... put together by a private collector .
There's a whole bunch of stuff on http://www.youtube.com that can get you in a Wehrmacht kinda mood. Just type in Deutsche Wochenschau and knock yerself bandy on german wartime propaganda reels. Some are better than others...
This forthcoming book looks amazing... http://www.landmarkmilitarybooks.com/De ... -2629.html

Genossen,
If you want an Interesting method to carry your Mess tin and Zeltbahn 31,on your back without an A Frame... try this one..
This image has several interesting points including the respect for their fallen Kameraden.
You need a Mess tin, Zeltbahn 31, Bread Bag strap, Two Great Coat Straps..
Have a play.. you will work it out....
Enjoy.
Just found a re-enactment site that gives a pictorial description of pretty much every bit of Heer uniform ever used:
Excuse the quality of the picture, but this is a Waffen SS Mann in Russia, summer 1942. Mess tin is attached to a breadbag strap over the shoulder. Feldfläsche is on the left with the Feldspaten.

New Osprey title - 'Wehrmacht Combat Helmets 1933–45' http://www.ospreypublishing.com/store/W ... 1841767253
Has anyone ever read an Osprey book cover-to-cover?
I tend to buy them, look at the colour plates, then the photos, then decide to read it later. After a few years the book will be lost, sold or lent out.
Yeah.... quite a few. 
Their 'elite Tactics' is good for the text (well most of them, the occasional bad author has crept in) but even then I have spent more time looking at the pictures in truth. Sometimes with the Man-at-Arms ones you just want one nugget of non visual information, like 'how many drummers in a french infantry company', so you just have to read it all.
Isn't that like buying a family pack of cereal just to get the plastic toy?
Well another time you might want something else, so go back and have to read it all again. Plus I have 'book collecting library' syndrome, so if it is on one of my 'subjects' it stays regardless of if it gets opened. Some are used again and again though - mainly for war-gaming rather than this to be honest.
