| HOME | "The German Army
in the First World War: Uniforms and Equipment: 1914 to 1918" by Jurgen
Kraus. This superbly illustrated, 640 page hardbound volume presents, for
the first time, a comprehensive picture of the uniforms and equipment of
the German army in the First World War. More than 1,400 color photographs
illustrate the full range of clothing and insignia, from private to field
marshal. This book includes not only detailed descriptions of all the
garments worn in the German army during the war, but also of the special
uniforms and insignia of each branch of service. This impressive
collection of photographs of original pieces is supplemented by 400
contemporary wartime photographs showing clearly how they were actually
worn. Together, they illustrate the external changes in the German army
between 1914 and the end of the war. The collection of the Bayerisches
Armeemuseum in Ingolstadt was photographed for the first time for this
book, along with some important artifacts from the Wehrgeschichtliches
Museum in Rastatt. Is it 100% complete and totally comprehensive? No, of
course not. However, if it was any more complete, you would get a hernia
for sure! Without a doubt, it is the most intensive study on the subject
to be published in English, and will remain the collector's primary
Imperial German reference for many years to come. If you collect Imperial
German uniforms and equipment of the First World War, this is a must-own
reference! New S&H by media mail (Book Rate) $9.00
