... a substantial work which separates the soldier from the military machine and explores him as an individual...This book will be welcomed by the serious collector. * The Armourer Militaria Magazine * This is an impressive book, obviously painstakingly researched and beautifully put together...the detail into which the author delves is staggering. * Classic Military Vehicle * This book is, indeed, the most in-depth examination of the German infantryman during WWII and will surely become the `bible' for any modeller, re-enactor, historian, in fact anybody interested in Second World War history. This really comes under the heading `must have!' * Military Modelling * It is the most comprehensive and extraordinary collection packed with an unbelievable amount of detail and printed to the highest standards. * AFV Modeller * Finally, one for the WWII weapons and equipment buffs, and particularly for re-enactors who want to get every last detail right... an absolute treasure... * Combat and Survival * Overall I thought this was a very good book in its own terms. * www.wargamer.com * This excellent book offers a wealth of info for anyone interested in WWII Wehrmacht uniforms and equipment...highly recommended. * Model Military International * Although the reviewer has seen a number of works on this subject, never before has one seen anything approaching such quality and detail. Highly recommended for those with an interest in this subject. * Medal News * If you have any interest in the history of the WW II German soldier then this book is a must have read as it"s an essential reference material. * PMCI Magazine *

Reseña del editor:

Limited availability - order NOW whilst stocks last! There have been numerous books written on the German Army since the end of World War II. Books on the men, their tactics, commanders, equipment, weaponry and histories of the major battles they fought in can be found on the bookshelves of almost all 20th Century history enthusiasts. Yet until now, no book has covered the history of the German soldier in such complete detail. Deutsche Soldaten is the definitive visual history of the German soldier and provides a unique reflection of of a soldier's daily life, right down to how they washed themselves on the front, or behaved when at rest, what their pastimes, ambitions, and worries were, and how they spent their leave- all through the collections of personal items and other artefacts they left behind. The author, an expert on 20th-Century military history and an avid collector of various militaria, makes available to the general public for the first time his extensive collection, compiled over many years to provide his fellow enthusiasts with the ultimate guide to the World War II German soldier. Each item's history is explained in detail, with numerous close-up photographs showing exactly what the genuine article looks like. With most of the collection in mint condition, and many items having never been seen before, Deutsche Soldaten is quite simply a must-buy for anyone interested in history. Jointly produced by Casemate and Andrea Press, it will be available in 5 languages, English, German, French, Spanish and Italian, from November this year.
