A Collector's Guide to Third Reich Militaria

One of the best introductions to the subject, this volume's numerous photographs, drawings and charts survey the surviving artifacts of the Nazi regime, devoting most attention to military uniforms, equipment and insignia. The fascinating main text is supplemented by appendices listing technical terms, ranks, arm-of-service colors and other information.

This book for years has served both collectors and general readers as an introduction to an intriguing world of museums, shops, interest groups and dealers. In response to continuing interest, rising prices and the proliferation of fake items, the author has now produced this revised and updated edition.
