German Combat Equipments 1939-45--(Men-At Arms series #234) The field equipment of the German Army in World War II was closely related to that used throughout World War I and earlier, yet it was of relatively light weight, ruggedly constructed, well designed, functional, and generally of a high quality, though this deteriorated in the later war years. A high degree of design standardisation was maintained in most categories of equipment, though materials and their colours often varied widely. There were also many different specialisations for the various arms of service as well as theatres of combat, such as the Afrikakorps in the Western Desert. This title investigates all manner of German combat equipments throughout World War II, from belt buckles to magazine pouches.

German Soldiers of World War II -- by Militaria Magazine. All color with models wearing the uniforms and some equipment in semi-realistic poses. This will give you a good feel for what the "real" stuff looked like. The only downside is that the English translations are kind of poor.

German Army Uniforms of World War II in Colour Photographs -- by Wade Krawczyk. The German armed forces remain today - as they have been for decades - the most enduringly popular subject in the whole field of military uniform history.In this book, a gallery of full length studies is supported by close-up photographs of each item of clothing and insignia - even linings and manufacturer's markings; and of original items of personal equipment and effects. All the illustrated items are identified, described and explained in a detailed text by an expert collector. The 230 colour photographs in this book represent an invaluable reference to a fascinating subject.

German Army 1939-1945 (1) Blitzkrieg (Men-At-Arms Series, 311) by Nigel Thomas -- On 1 September 1939, when Germany attacked Poland, the Wehrmacht numbered 3,180,000 men. It eventually expanded to 9,500,000, and on 8-9 May 1945, the date of its unconditional surrender on the Western and Eastern Fronts, it still numbered 7,800,000. The Blitzkrieg period, from 1 September 1939 to 25 June 1940, was 10 months of almost total triumph for the Wehrmacht, as it defeated every country, except Great Britain, that took the field against it. In this first of five volumes examining the German Army of World War Two, Nigel Thomas examines the uniforms and insignia of Hitler's Blitzkrieg forces, including an overview of the Blitzkrieg campaign itself.

The German Army 1939-1945 (2) North Afrika and Balkans (Men-At-Arms Series, 316) by Nigel Thomas -- Hitler first considered an invasion of Great Britain in autumn 1940, then scheduled Operation Barbarossa, the conquest of the European part of the Soviet Union, for May 1941. Anxious to emulate Hitler's successes, the Italian dictator Mussolini embarked upon unnecessary military adventures in North Africa and the Balkans, which forced Hitler's intervention, diverting and depleting precious German resources, and a six-week postponement of Barbarossa. In this second of four volumes [Men-at-Arms 311, 316, 326 & 330] on the German Army of the Second World War, Nigel Thomas examines the uniforms and insignia of the forces involved in North Africa and the Balkans.

German Army 1939-45 (3): Eastern Front 1941-43 (Men-At-Arms Series, 326) by Nigel Thomas -- Operation Barbarossa, the attack on the Soviet Union, commenced on 22 June 1941. It became the biggest conflict in military history, with some three million German troops and about 900,000 allies facing almost 4.7 million Soviet troops. The effects would colour postwar European history for the next 50 years. This title examines the history of the conflict, and the organisation, uniforms and insignia of the German Army on the Eastern Front from 1941-43. The book contains numerous illustrations and photographs throughout, incuding eight fine full-page colour plates by Stephen Andrew

German Army (4), 1939-1945: Eastern Front 1943-1945 (Men-At-Arms Series, 330) by Nigel Thomas -- The fourth of a comprehensive series of five books on the German army of WW2. In early 1943 the annihilation of the 6th Army at Stalingrad marked the irreversible turning-point of the war in the East. Despite occasional local successes gained in the face of great odds -- testimony to the Wehrmacht's extraordinary resilience -- from now on Germany was on the defensive. Despite Hitler's damaging interference the quality of German field leadership, and of new weapons, remained high; but each new Soviet offensive pushed the front line closer to -- and finally, across -- the borders of the Reich. In this fourth title of their sequence author and artist describe and illustrate the developments in unit organization, uniforms and equipment during 1943--45, including information on European and Eastern volunteer units; text and illustrations are supported by detailed tables.

The German Army 1939-45 (5) : Western Front 1943-45 (Men-At-Arms Series, 336) by Nigel Thomas -- The fifth and last of a comprehensive series of five books on the German army of WW2.This book covers the high command, the developments in unit organisation, the campaigns and the uniforms and equipment of the German Army in the last two years of the war in North-West Europe and Italy. Despite the huge pressure of fighting on three fronts, ever-worsening shortages of manpower and equipment, and Allied command of the skies, Germany's decimated divisions fought on with impressive skill and determination. This period also saw a fascinating mixture of obsolescent, newly designed, and field-made combat clothing which gave the German soldier a radically different appearance from his predecessor of just five years before. A must have!!

World War II German Battle Insignia (Men-at-Arms 365) by Gordon Williamson -- The remarkable war effort of the German armed forces on three fronts between 1939 and 1945 was recognised by a wider range of insignia than seen in the Allied armies. While the Wehrmacht displayed fewer unit insignia than the Allies, a glance at a German soldier's tunic could reveal much more about his actual combat experience. In this book an experienced researcher explains and illustrates the Battle and Assault Badges of the Army, Waffen-SS and Luftwaffe ground troops; the sleeve shields and cuffbands issued to mark service in particular campaigns; wound badges, commemorative medals, and other types of insignia.

The Waffen-SS (Osprey Men at Arms Series, 34)--In the early 1920s, a tiny group was formed within the SA to serve as Hitler's personal bodyguard. Originally labelled the 'Stosstruppe Adolf Hitler', they later became known as the SS - Schütz Staffeln, or 'protection squads'. From these humble beginnings, the SS rose to a nominal strength of 38 divisions of over 800,000 men by 1945, representing a sizeable portion of Germany's land forces and more importantly a quarter of her tank forces and a third of her mechanised infantry. Martin Windrow's splendid in-depth review of the history, uniforms and insignia of the infamous Waffen-SS, includes details and service histories of all 38 SS Divisions and an illustrated list of rank insignia. The author's authoritative text is complemented by a wealth of contemporary and museum photographs clearing showing uniform detail. Also included are eight superb full-page colour plates by military artist Jeffrey Burn, accompanied by twelve pages of detailed commentaries.

Army Panzer Uniforms in Colour by Wade Krawczyk -- The uniforms of the German tank troops -- Panzertruppe -- were probably the most dramatic of any worn by World War II combat units.

Today, 50 years after they were last worn in action, accurate references for the dress, insignia and personal equipment of these armoured vehicle crews are particularly sought-after by modellers and collectors.

In this book the author presents clear, close-up colour photographs of a remarkable range of varying patterns of original Panzer headgear, uniforms and insignia, with explanatory text.

World War II Infantry in Colour Photographs (Europa Militeria Special #2) -- what can I say... an EXCELLENT primer as they used all original stuff, but I fear it's out of fprint...

Wehrmacht: Camouflage Uniforms & Post-War Derivitives by Dan Peterson -- In no other country has camouflaged clothing been so extensively used, and in such great diversity of patterns and styles, as in Germany. For the first time, US Army museum curator Dan Peterson traces the evolution and development of the camouflage uniforms of the German armed forces by means of vivid colour photographs of one of the world's most extensive collections of original examples.

Here he examines the broad category of camouflage patterns and uniform types used by the German Army and Air Force troops of World War Two, and those post-war patterns that were clearly derived from the Wehrmacht types - some still in use over half a century later.

Indispensable for collectors, uniform historians and military modellers alike, this book finally resolves the confusion surrounding many of these patterns and garments, and establishes a complete and concise system of identification and terminology.

Waffen-SS: Camouflage Uniforms & Post-War Derivitives by Dan Peterson--All the patterns used by the formidable troops of the Waffen-SS, from the first revolutionary designs of the late 1930s to little-known innovations of 1945, are explained and illustrated by means of more than 120 vivid colour photographs of rare - sometimes unique - original surviving specimens.The book also covers similar and derivative patterns used by German and foreign armies up to the present day; and gives invaluable advice on the identification of original wartime uniforms.Indispensable for collectors, uniform historians and military modellers alike, this book resolves the confusion surrounding this subject and establishes and complete and concise system of identification and terminology.

Waffen-SS Uniforms: in Colour Photographs--This book, Waffen-SS Uniforms: In Colour Photographs is, without a doubt, a MUST HAVE for any WWII library! Although one of the earlier reviewers stated that the uniforms were mostly reproductions, he is wrong, as pretty much everything in this book is real! You won't get this kind of great colour photos in any book this cheaply -- if you don't buy it, you're an idiot!This book is a unique reference source for the uniform collector, modeller and student of military dress and equipment.For the first time the reader can trace the development of the colour and design of the Waffen-SS uniforms with confidence: all the uniforms worn in the 150 colour photographs presented here are rare, original items, from private collections. All major types of service uniform are illustrated, together with a full range of the unique camouflage clothing which was the hallmark of these much-feared divisions.Privates, NCOs, officers, infantrymen, mountain troopers, tank and assault gun crews are all vividly illustrated here as they appeared on the actual battlefield, and described in detail.

Waffen-SS Uniforms & Insignia by Peter V. Lukacs and Wade Krawczyk -- This large format colour-illustrated book shows a wide range of the uniforms and personal equipment of the Waffen SS during World War II. Coverage includes peaked and soft caps, helmets and camouflage helmet covers, tunics and camouflage jackets, insignia and miscellania such as belt buckles, shoulder straps, documentation, and so on. Amongst the rare items of equipment are named articles from SS generals and colonels.Interest in this subject remains extremely high, and the authors have travelled widely in Scandinavia and Russia photographing previously unseen collections. The photographs are accompanied by an explanatory text making this an invaluable book for military historians, modellers and collectors.

The Allgemeine-SS (Men-at-Arms 266) by Robin Lumsden --The SS originated as Hitler's personal bodyguard and following his rise to power in 1933 the organisation divided into two: the Waffen-SS, which comprised the military wing, and the Allgemeine-SS, whose role was to support the police in maintaining order. The Allgemeine-SS had a wide-ranging effect on all aspects of life in Nazi Germany, from enforcing Hitler's racial policies through to the running of over 500 factories in Germany and occupied Europe. While the more visible armed SS combat units naturally received all the publicity, especially during the war, it was the rather faceless Allgemeine-SS which wielded the real power.

Axis Cavalry in World War II (Men-at-Arms 361)--Author: Jeffrey T. Fowler, Illustrator: Mike Chappell. 48 pages; ISBN: 1841763233. It is often forgotten that the German Wehrmacht of 1939-45 relied heavily upon horses. Not only was the majority of Army transport and much of the artillery dependent on draught horse teams; the Germans also kept a horse-mounted cavalry division in the field until the end of 1941. After withdrawing it, they discovered a need to revive and greatly expand their cavalry units in 1943-45. The Army and Waffen-SS cavalry proved their worth on the Russian Front, supported by other Axis cavalry contingents - Romanian, Hungarian, Italian, and locally recruited. In this book an experienced horseman describes that last generation of horse-soldiers in a text supported by tables, photographs, and meticulous colour plates.

German Mountain & Ski Troops: 1939-45 (Elite Series #63)--Gordon Williamson details the uniforms organisation and combat histories of the elite Gebirgstruppen of the German Army. Fighting in every theatre from the burning sands of North Africa to the icy wastes above the arctic circle these troops were some of the most effective in the whole of the Wehrmacht. Their esprit de corps and morale were extremely high and their commanders, men such as Eduard Dietl, the'Hero of Narvik', and Julius 'Papa' Ringel, were Idolized by their men. Dietl himself was the first soldier of the Wehrmacht to be awarded the coveted Oakleaves to the Knights Cross of the Iron Cross. Gordon Williamson was born in 1957 and currently works for the Scottish Land Register. He spent seven years with the Military Police TA and has published a number of books and articles on the decorations of the Third Reich and their winners.

Afrikakorps 1941-43 (Elite Series #34)--So many battles of the Second World War were fought with such ferocity and disregard for basic humanity that many survivors of that time have only the most bitter memories of their wartime experiences. The campaign in North Africa between September 1940 and May 1943 holds not only an enduring fascination for postwar generations; but also a perhaps unique degree of nostalgia for some surviving participants. The campaign was no less costly in terms of human lives and material than many others; but regret at the cost is accompanied by positive memories in the minds of many veterans. This is not to suggest that the dead have been forgotten; but an almost mystical bond nevertheless exists, even between former enemies, amongst veterans of the desert campaign. Their memories seem to have a special quality not found among men who fought on other fronts, and enduring hatred is very rarely voiced. Gordon Williamson examines the history, organisation and uniforms of Rommel's Afrikakorps who fought in this vividly inhospitable battlefield, where the scorching, arid terrain by day became an equally unwelcoming, freezing world at night; where raging sandstorms could completely alter a landscape within just a few hours; and where countless flies, scorpions and sand vipers, to say nothing of open sores, jaundice and dysentry, could make life a complete misery.

Waffen-SS Soldier 1940­45 (Warrior series)--Probably the most highly motivated and ruthless combatant to take the field in World War II, the Waffen-SS soldier was the cutting edge of Germany's military might. Aggressive in attack, dogged in defence, his units generally suffered higher casualties than the regular army formations. The apple of the Führer's eye, he was the first to receive the best available equipment and was expected to produce results to match. From the green fields of France to the freezing steppes of Russia and finally to the shattered streets of Berlin this title details the development of the weapons, equipment and tactics of one of history's most formidable warriors.

German Military Police Units 1939-45 (Men-at-Arms 213) by Gordon Williamson -- The military policeman must be one of the least appreciated yet most indispensable military figures in modern history. In the mobile warfare of the 20th century no army could keep its vital supply routes open without the military policeman. This book documents the organisation, uniforms and insignia of the many and varied German military police units of World War II. Their duties included traffic control; maintaining military order and discipline; collection and escorting prisoners of war; prevention of looting; disarming civilians; checking captured enemy soldiers for documents; collection of fallen enemy propaganda leaflets and providing street patrols in occupied areas.

German Airborne Troops, 1939-45 (Men at Arms #139)--Airborne operations have often been called a vertical envelopment, and therein lies one of the best descriptions of their value. The essence of an envelopment is to pin the enemy in place so that it can be destroyed. A strong enemy force to one's rear disrupts supplies and communications and makes one more vulnerable to an attack from the front. It also has a major psychological impact. One of the certainties upon which soldiers rely is that everything to their front is the enemy and everything to their rear is friendly. It helps distinguish who to fire on and who to assume are reinforcements. To an aggressor the value of airborne troops, used properly, far outweighs their numerical strength. It would almost certainly be false to say that the German invasion of France and the Low Countries in 1940 could not have succeeded without the paratroops and their glider-borne comrades; but it would certainly have been made more difficult. With numerous contemporary photographs and eight full page colour plates by Mike Chappell, Bruce Quarrie's engaging text tells the story of the German airborne troops of the Second World War.

The Panzer Divisions (Men at Arms #24) -- For the first three years of the Second World War the German Army's armoured formations dominated the world's battlefields. During this period the Panzerwaffe swept away all that was before them, achieving victories over numerically superior and sometimes better equipped opponents. This remarkable book by Martin Windrow deals with one of the German Army's most effective and feared rapid attack forces, including a summary of every Panzer division's war record and an extensive examination of uniforms, equipment and decorations.

Wehrmacht Auxiliary Forces (Men at Arms #254)--

Luftwaffe Field Divisions, 1941-45 (Men at Arms #229)--Author: Kevin Conley Ruffner, Illustrator: Ronald Volstad. 48 pages; ISBN: 1855321009. Hermann Göring raised the Luftwaffe Field Divisions [LwFD] during 1942, when Nazi Germany was still making spectacular gains but was first feeling the pinch of its losses on the Eastern Front [over 700,000 men from June 1942 unti the onset of winter]. By the middle of that year Army leaders were turning to previously untapped manpower resources for troop replacements. The Army proposed to transfer 10-20,000 Naval and up to 50,000 Luftwaffe personnel to Army control. Göring, however, refused to permit the loss of his good National Socialist airmen to the reactionary Army, which still had chaplains and officers imbued with the traditions of the old Imperial Army. The Reichsmarschall instead decided to raise his own divisions for ground service under the command of Luftwaffe officers. Hitler accepted Göring's solution to the manpower shortage, and directed that the number of Air Force personnel for these new units be doubled from the original figure of 50,000. Prominent Army figures, with some notable exceptions, made little attempt to prevent the creation of yet another private army and, in the words of one Army officer, 'so the bells rang for the birth of the unlucky 'Luftwaffe Field Divisions'. This then, was the immediate background to Göring's call on 17 September 1942 for volunteers from throughout the Luftwaffe for combat duty in the East. Even before that date, however, some Luftwaffe troops were heavily engaged against the enemy in Russia in a ground role. Kevin Conley Ruffner tells the fascinating story of the LwFD in a volume containing numerous photographs and eight full page colour plates by Ron Volstad.

The Waffen-SS (1) 1. to 5. Divisions (Men-at-Arms 401) by Gordon Williamson -- Despite being disdained by the German Army's professional officer corps, the military branch of the Nazi SS security organisation grew from an initial strength of only a handful of battalions at the outbreak of war in 1939 to hundreds of thousands of troops in dozens of divisions. The battlefield reputation of the premier armoured and mechanised divisions would become second to none; lavishly equipped and regarded as utterly reliable, they were thrown into many desperate battles on both Western and Eastern fronts, often achieving remarkable results. Illustrated with rare photographs, this first of four Men-at-Arms titles details the organisation, uniforms and insignia of the Waffen-SS.

The Waffen-SS (2) 6. to 10. Divisions (Men-at-Arms 404) by Gordon Williamson -- The military branch of the Nazi SS security organisation grew by the end of World War II from a handful of poorly regarded infantry battalions in 1939, into a force of more than 30 divisions including units of every type. Their battlefield reputation varied widely, from the premier armoured divisions which formed Germany's utterly reliable spearheads on both main fronts, to low quality 'anti-partisan' units. The divisions covered in this second of four titles include the first mountain and cavalry units, and two of the remarkable new Panzer divisions raised in the great 1943 expansion. Illustrated with rare photographs from private collections, the text details their organisation, uniforms and insignia, and summarises their battle record.

The Waffen-SS (3) 11. to 23. Divisions (Men-at-Arms 415) by Gordon Williamson -- The Waffen-SS grew from a handful of obscure infantry battalions in 1939, to a force of more than 30 divisions by the end of World War II, including units of every type and every level of battlefield value. The mid-war divisions covered in this third title represent that range, from some of the most effective German and Western European volunteer formations -- e.g. the 12. SS-Pz Div 'Hitlerjugend', and the Scandinavians and Dutchmen of the 11. 'Nordland' and 23. 'Nederland' divisions -- to the Bosnian Muslims of the anti-partisan 13. 'Handschar' Division. Illustrated with rare photographs from private collections and meticulous colour artwork, the text details their organization, uniforms and insignia, and summarizes their battle records.

The Waffen-SS (4) 24. to 38. Divisions & Volunteer Legions (Men-at-Arms 420) by Gordon Williamson -- In 1944-45 the Waffen-SS formed many nominal 'divisions' from a motley range of sources, whose battlefield value was as varied as their backgrounds. The best were built around existing Western European volunteer regiments; some, raised from Central Europeans and Russians, were strong in numbers but weak in morale; some were of negligible size, scraped together from remnants and trainees; and some were sinister 'anti-partisan' gangs, assembled from the military dregs of the Eastern Front. Illustrated with rare photographs from private collections and meticulous colour artwork, this final title in our sequence details their organisation, uniforms and insignia, and summarises their battle records.

Rommel's Desert Army (Men-at-Arms 53)--Author: Martin Windrow, Illustrator: Michael Roffe. 48 pages; ISBN: 0850450950. This book examines the uniforms, equipment, history and organisation of Rommel's Desert Army. The course of the war in the desert is traced, and the uniforms of Rommel's troops are shown in full colour artwork.

A Collector's Guide to the History and History and Uniforms of Das Heer: The German Army 1933-45 -- Interest in the momentous events of World War ll seems never to decrease, despite the fact that the 1939-45 period is beyond the memory of a great number of those who now study it. The greatest fascination is almost always reserved for the arms and achievements of the country that was instrumental in starting the war and ultimately, losing it.

The emphasis of the book is on what was and is most commonly seen - for example, through contemporary newsreels, hence rarely seen or less important uniform variations are not included. A listing of key items is given in a series of appendices. This is a detailed handbook to the German army of the period, its history, its organization, its uniform and its equipment.

German Commanders of World War II (Men-at-Arms 124) by Anthony Kemp -- This fascinating study by Anthony Kemp outlines the careers and characters of a number of senior German commanders. To those who read military history many of the names are familiar. It is a paradox, however, that few biographies have been written. The impression still exists today of German generals as stiff-necked, scar-faced, monocled Prussians. Whilst in a few cases this was certainly true, the fact remains that all of them were men, some more ordinary than others. With a variety of photographs, eight full-page colour plates by Angus McBride, accompanied by ten pages of commentaries, this is a first-class addition to Osprey's Men-at-Arms series.

Foreign Volunteers of the Wehrmacht 1941-45 (Men-at-Arms 147) by Carlos Caballero Jurado -- When one speaks of the units of foreign volunteers integrated into the German forces during the Second World War, one thinks automatically of the Waffen-SS: indeed, few military corps have been so international in composition as the Waffen-SS. But, in absolute numbers, more foreigners served with the other three branches of the Wehrmacht - army, navy and air force - than in the Waffen-SS. As to the reasons which induced so many tens of thousands to volunteer to wear the German uniform, we must conclude that anti-Communism was the most significant. This sentiment was common to Dutch sailors and Italian flak crews, to Cossack cavalry and Croatian pilots; and it is emphasised by the enormous increase in volunteers following the German invasion of Russia, from a basis of practically nothing before that date. All over Western Europe, 'Legions' of volunteers for the Eastern Front were formed. Eventually the Waffen-SS would absorb the personnel from 'Germanic' countries - Norway, Denmark, Holland, and the Flemish region of Belgium - while the Army took the remainder from France, Walloon Belgium and Croatia. And it was from this period, obviously, that the progressively larger flow of Soviet citizens to the German colours began. Text by Carlos Caballero Jurado, plates by Kevin Lyles. This title examines the foreign volunteers who fought for the Wehrmacht, taking a close look at their uniforms, organisation and distinctive insignia. Among those covered are the Legion Wallanie, LVF, Ostlegionen, Balkan volunteers, Hiwis, Kalmucks, Cossacks, Baltic, Russian and Ukranian volunteers.

Germany's Spanish Volunteers 1941-45 (Men-at-Arms 103) by John Scurr -- The Spanish Civil War had been a conflict between the nationalists and conservatives on one side, and what they saw as the opposing anarchic atheistic Marxism which was eroding the traditional Catholic values of Spain. The nationalists eventually won with the aid of Germany against the Soviet backed Marxists, and four years later, the Spaniards seized the opportunity to settle a score with those who had attempted to disintegrate their country. John Scurr's book provides an absorbing account of the organisation, campaigns and uniforms of Germany's Spanish volunteers who fought from 1941-45.

Luftwaffe Airborne and Field Units (Men-at-Arms 22)--Author: Martin Windrow, Illustrator: Michael Roffe 48 pages; ISBN: 0850451140. This book explores the uniforms, equipment, history and organisation of Germany's World War 2 air arm. Parachutists and the "Hermann Göring" division are amongst the specialists covered. Uniforms are shown in full colour artwork.
