German Soldiers of World War Two by Jean de Lagarde is an impressive collection of color photographs illustrating in great detail what the German military man looked like in the 1940s. Pictured are uniforms of all kinds: dress, working, and combat for both winter and summer. Weapons and equipment and insignia and decorations are also shown.The focus of the work is on the army, but other branches are also covered. This is an impressive volume and a must for collectors of militaria. The work is also quite useful for the general reader although the level of detail is often beyond what the average person will need: Hindenburg bomber pilots wore "black flying boots made of smooth leather for the uppers and suede for the shaft."
