What people are saying - Write a reviewUser Review - Flag as inappropriate This is a reprint of the original handbook for the 50th anniversary of World War II. The book is a ready reference to German military organization, logistics, communication, battle drill, weapons and equipment. The uniform and equipment section lacks detail on how the various German forces, Wehrmacht, Airborne, SS, were uniformed during the course of the war. Overall, however, the book is a ready reference for researchers. Review: Handbook on German Military ForcesUser Review - GoodreadsReprint of a surprisingly comprehensive Second World War manual on the German Armed Forces assembled by the War Department. What makes this book interesting is that you are seeing exactly what an officer in the United States Army would see in 1944! Related booksContents
