The rich comments and well researched information provided in the captions testify to the author’s deep knowledge on the subject and his meticulous methods of work. I highly recommend this book for modelers, historians and collectors with serious interest in the subject.

Collecting German uniforms is a well-established hobby and interest for many militaria collectors. Although the Third Reich period is particularly popular many others collect Imperial German uniforms whilst the post-war German uniforms receive less attention than those for pre-1945.



The book has over 800 photographs which offer an unparalleled analysis. Every image has a detailed caption explaining the pertinent aspects of each soldier’s uniform, insignia and equipment.

 Concluding with a consideration of the Bundeswehr in Afghanistan which was the largest deployment of German troops since 1945.



It is a well written volume with ample images which make it a very interesting book to read. It certainly achieves the goal of documenting German Army uniforms from 1870 to the present day and it is bound to become a standard reference book on this topic. Finally the author deserves a “Well done!”.
